No, it is not. Please check out the definition of 'production' software
in relation to staging,testing and development.

Techopedia explains Production Server
A production server is the core server on which any website or Web
application is being hosted and accessed by users. It is part of the
entire software and application development environment. Typically, the
production server environment, hardware and software components are
exactly similar to a staging server.
Though, rather being confined to in-house usage as in a staging server,
the production server is open for end-user access. The software or
application must be tested and debugged on a staging server before being
deployed on the production server."
