No, they are almost reverse images. Cuba's bars are Blue and White and the five bars on Puerto Rico's flag are Red and White. Both bear a single White Star on a triangular field at the fly, but the triangle on the flag of Puerto Rico is Blue and the triangle on the Cuban flag is Red.

The flag of Puerto Rico was made by a group of Puerto Rican revolutionaries in New York that were part of the Section of Puerto Rico in the Cuban Revolutionary Party. Its design was made to symbolize the brotherhood of both islands in the revolutionary fight against the United States.
