Probably - although this may vary in different Legal Jurisdictions
In England and Wales this term is used as a consequence of a Probation Officer supervising those subject to various court orders under terms set by those courts, with a duty on the probation officer to report any failings to the court.
However as Probation Officers are no longer directly employed by Courts, they also have to answer to directions set by their employing authority which might cause conflict with the expectations and requirements of the court(s)
Probation Officers also supervise people on release from the custodial part of a criminal sentence and although the sentences are (obviously) imposed by a court the oversight of the supervision is managed by a Government Department - in England and Wales - The Ministry of Justice.
