No. Jethro was a Midianite. Midian was Abraham's son (see Genesis 25:2), and therefore Israel's cousin. Jethro was the father-in-law of Moses (as his daughter, Zipporah, was married to Moses). Jethro was a Jewish priest. It was only later, when the Midianites and Moabites had a problem, that the Midianites were "cut-off" from the Israelites.
The priesthood was not yet "official", because the law of Moses was not yet written. There is more than one place in The Bible that talk about godly priests (before the law). Think about Melchizedek.
Although, it sounds like Joseph married Asenath the daughter of Potipherah (a pagan) priest of On.
