Not really. The converse... each element contains one type of atom... isn't exactly true either, unless you're careful about what you mean by "type."

Elements are composed of one "type" of atom, where by "type" I mean "having a particular number of protons". They can have different numbers of neutrons and still be the same element, but if the number of protons changes, it's a different element.
