No, Hystaspes (fl. 550 B.C.E.) was not a king.
Specifically, Hystaspes was the governor of Bactria and Persis. The title for such a post is Anglicized as "satrap." The regions that Hystaspes governed are in modern-day Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan and Tajikistan.
Although not a king himself, Hystaspes was the father of King Darius I (550 B.C.E. - 486 B.C.E.). His son was such an important ruler that his nickname was "the Great." He was one of the rulers of the Achaemenid Empire whose countries included modern-day Egypt, Greece and Iran.
