No, they're shield volcanoes. The lava in spatter cones is highly viscous whereas the lava that forms shield volcanoes (that you can see flowing in Hawaii) has a very low viscosity. Shield volcanoes are low profile, broad lumps; these are the Hawaiian islands.

Why called spatter cone volcano?
A spatter cone is formed of spatter: molten lava ejected from a vent. Expanding gases in the lava fountains tear the liquid rock into irregular gobs that fall back to earth, forming a heap around the vent. The still partly liquid rock splashed down and over the sides of the developing mound is called spatter. Because spatter is not fully solid when it lands, the individual deposits are very irregular in shape and weld together as they cool, and in this way particularly differ from cinder and ash. Spatter cones are typical of volcanoes with highly fluid magma, such as those found in the Hawaiian Islands.
