No, it has nothing to do with the shape of the Earth. Phases of the Moon are caused by the relative positions of the Sun, the Earth and the Moon. When seen through a telescope, Venus presents similar phases. However, the circular shape of Earth's shadow that is projected on the Moon' surface during a lunar eclipse is evidence that the Earth is round.
