Not usually. Pahoehoe refers specifically to a lava flows. These can occur in mildly explosive eruptions, but usually explosive eruptions to not produce lava flows. Instreat they produce clouds of ash with some lapilli and pumice. Pryoclastic flows often result. These are fast-moving avalanches of superheated ash, gas and pumice. These form a kind of volcanic rock called tuff.
Lava flows of pahoehoe and aa indicate that the eruption was effusive ("quiet") rather than explosive, or only very mildly explosive.
They indicate that an eruption is effusive rather than explosive.

Pahoehoe comes from an explosive eruption, whereas AA comes from quiet eruptions.
The composition of the magma affects how explosive a volcanic eruption will be.
Pahoehoe is one substance usually not present in explosive volcanic eruptions. Tephra, lava and other gasses are typically present during an eruption.
No, pahoehoe lava is not considered pyroclastic debris. Pahoehoe is a type of basaltic lava that has a smooth, rope-like texture due to its low viscosity. Pyroclastic debris refers to fragmented material such as ash, volcanic rocks, and gases that are blasted out of a volcano during an explosive eruption.
Phreatic Eruption (an explosive volcanic eruption)
explosive eruption
No, pahoehoe and aa lava are typically produced during non-explosive eruptions. Pahoehoe lava has a smooth, ropey texture, while aa lava is rough and jagged. Explosive eruptions typically produce ash, pyroclastic flows, and lava domes.
