Basically: Yes.

5.1 is the *first* iso respin of CentOS 5 (5.0 being the first iso
spin). This contains some feature updates. At the moment (and it has
been like that for *all* CentOS releases this far) 5.1 is the *only*
CentOS 5 which exists. CentOS 5.0 *does not* exist anymore. CentOS 5.0
does *NOT* get *ANY* updates.
