No. The Underworld is a place -all- souls go to after a person passes away. It doesn't matter whether they were good or bad, sinners or saints. Everyone goes there. It is not a punishment, simply a place for the soul to safely dwell.
In Christian mythology Hell is reserved strictly for sinners. It is a place fully of fire and torment where a person's soul is tortured for the rest of existence.
