No, the audience doesn't believe that Theban King Oedipus is the son of Theban King Creon. Oedipus clearly is in control of the interaction. Creon comes back from Apollo's Shrine and wants to share what he learns in private with Oedipus and only later in public with the Theban people. Oedipus refuses and tells Creon to speak there and then. That isn't the typical father and son interaction in which the son respects the father, in ancient Greece.
