No each spark plug takes turns at making a spark. If the firing order is 1342 then they spark in that order while 1 is sparking the others are not. The plugs spark when the piston is up on the compression stroke and not all pistons are compressing at the same time.
Though this happens very fast, but I still think they are not all sparking at the same time.
