No. A continental divide (as in the western US) is a mountain range that separates parts of the mainland from another.
The International Date Line is an imaginary line through the western Pacific that marks the beginning of each new calendar day. As you head west across the Line, it is considered the following calendar day. If you head east, it becomes the preceding calendar day. Clock times (local time) also change with any movement east or west around the globe.
