No. ISO is short for ISO 9660 file-system, which is the file-system
of a CD. An "ISO image file" is a raw copy of a CD and hence
contains a file-system. Burnt to a CD-R[W], you could access the
files and directories in that file-system. With Linux, you could
even mount the ISO image directly via a loopback device:

  mount image.iso /mnt/somewhere -o loop

With Microsoft Windows you may need tools like IsoBuster to access
the file structure in an ISO image.
