Not usually, no.

The "ramp" or "apron" is the part of the airport where airplanes park to load or unload.

"Tarmac" is a more generic term referring to any paved part of the airport. It may be used to refer to the ramp, the taxiways, the runways, or indeed even when referring to the pavement itself in a more general sense.
