well, no and yes. IPython is more general. It starts a controller and
engines, those engines can use MPI via mpi4py and if openmpi (or
another mpi lib) is installed. So, you can do parallelization without
mpi just using ipython's capabilities (scatter/gather and
task-oriented parallelziation) or mpi or a mix of both.

things to read:

overview, introduction, multi engine client and task client:
