Most probably! If you look up the meaning of the word Niger in the dictionary of the Greek testament, it means black! Simeon comes from the root Hebrew word 'Shimon/Simon' which mean 'to hear' or 'listen' which was actually the name of the man that the Romans called Niger.

Yes, he was a Black man in Jerusalem for trade but plucked out of obscurity by force & thrust into labor carrying a cross beam for our Savior. His Greek background & name are his parents efforts to help him blend into the Greek society in the North African coastal region now designated as Libya. The Gospel of Mark gives us the names of Simon's sons as Alexander & Rufus, who were both with him when he visited Jerusalem for trade during Passover. Since Niger in Greek means black, it is obvious that this sir name is intended to speak of their cultural background. Such a name was not given by sympathetic orators of history but historians who were mindful of deleting information which will prove pertinent to the narrative they were writing.
