Yes in a general sense it does but it does not follow the Gregorian calendar directly. As a result, a full moon can occur on any date of the year however many religious observances, such as the date of Easter, is wholly determined my the lunar phases, which is why Easter lands on a different date every year.

Islam uses the lunar calender instead of the solar calendar. The phases of the moon just show the date. This is used to determine things like eid, Ramadan laylatul-qadr.
What phase of the moon will appear in the sky on April 28th?
The solar calendar and the months of the Gregorian calendar year have no particular relationship with the phases of the Moon. That's not true for lunar calendars like the Islamic calendar, or luni-solar calendars like the Hebrew calendar; for these, the first day of the month IS the date of the new moon. But the month of "April" doesn't tell you anything about the phases of the Moon. It's easy enough to calculate, and there are dozens of web sites that will give you the appropriate astronomical data including lunar phases. For example, the U.S. Naval Observatory's web site will show you the times of sunrise, sunset, moonrise, moonset and moon phase for any date and location you specify. See the link below.
How does the calendar relate to the phazes of the moon?
Our calanders are based on the time taken for the earth to orbit the sun (1 year) and the time taken for the earth to spin once on it's axis (1 day). The phases of the moon, or the moon orbiting the earth, doesn't really come into it, but it takes around 29 days for the moon to orbit us.

Was the Gregorian calendar based on the moon?
Although the Gregorian calendar has "months", it is not in any way governed by the phases of the moon. It is strictly a solar calendar, so its emphasis is to remain in sync with the solstices and equinoxes, the characteristics of the Earth's orbit of the sun. Only lunar calendars, like the Muslim calendar, and lunisolar calendars, like the Jewish calendar, are based on the phases of the moon, with each month beginning at the time of the new moon.
