No. Viruses have existed since life has been on Earth. They mutate quickly and take bits of genetic material from living things to use to have duplicates of themselves created, with mutation, they can become infective to different species, although that is not the typical way they work, usually they don't cross from one animal to another. The Swine Flu virus, Novel H1N1, combined in one mutation to create a new virus never seen before that happened to be able to go from pigs to people. Pigs are physiologically very similar to people and that allowed the virus to change a pig flu to be enough like human flu that people were able to catch it. There is no indication that the virus was hybridized by humans for any purpose and all research points to the process of "triple reassortant" within the pigs which viruses can do in more rare situations like this one with the "2009 Swine Flu".
