No. Planet X was a proposed planet believed to orbit somewhere beyond Neptune based on an anomaly in the orbit of Uranus believed to be caused by the gravity of an unknown planet. Searches for planet X led to the discovery of Pluto, but later studies found that Pluto is not nearly massive enough to have caused the anomaly. It was later discovered that the apparent anomaly was due to a small miscalculation in the mass of Neptune.

Is planet X a gas giant?
Planet X is the theorized, but unconfirmed, "10th" planet in our solar system (when we had 9 planets total and Pluto was still considered a true planet). This elusive "Planet X" was thought most likely to be a gas giant and probably the cause of Pluto's off-planar orbital tilt. It was also thought to be the cause for some strange behavior with Neptune in respect to the other gas giants. In fact hunting for "Planet 9" was why Pluto was discovered in the first place. It soon became apparent, however, that Pluto was not "massive" enough to have caused the anomalies with Neptune - hence the hunt for Planet X.

Generally, Planet X is an undiscovered planet in our solar system. Pluto was "Planet X" until it's discovery in 1930. Scientists postulate the existence of a Planet X by noting irregularities in the orbits of other planets. Now, Pluto and anything past it discovered so far are known as dwarf planets. There maybe another planet somewhere past Pluto, but I believe Planet X now refers to extra-solar planets.
