No. Calderas form when a volcano produces an extremely massive eruption and collapses in on itself. But the volcano will often continue to erupt after this. For example, the volcano Krakatoa formed a caldera in 1883, but eruptions since then have formed a new island that is currently very active. There is evidence that the volcano has done such a thing several times.
