No, magma is located in the volcano when it comes out it is called lava. Lava cools after it comes out. Magma is still heated as the volcano is.

How magma exit on Earth?
Under the ground (down VERY far) there are things called magma chambers. Inside them is magma (obviously). There are tubes leading out of this. When the earths tectonic plates shift the magma chamber is disturbed and magma comes up through the tubes (the tubes are naturally formed). When the magma comes up to the earth's surface it is called lava. Lava turns to a rock like substance when cool and after many "eruptions" it builds up to form what we know as volcanoes.
