No. There are many forms of meditation- concentrating on the breath, focusing on feelings of lovingkindness, contemplating the impermanence of all things, visualizing Buddhist personifications or other symbols, chanting things like Nembutsu, Daimoku or mantras, reciting Sutras, writing out sutras, etc. Most, but not all, schools of Buddhism use one or more of those.

Why non-Buddhists might choose practice of meditation?
Meditation was around before buddhism was even founded. Anyone is welcome to practice meditation, whether you have a religion or not. It all depends on the choice of the person, meditation can be used as prayer, a time to think, empty the mind, etc... so if someone finds meditation useful for them they are welcome to use it. For the same reasons that buddhist's use it for or not. Hope that helped.
