Fusion reactions can occur without the heat and pressure of a star, but such reactions (as in hydrogen bombs) will be instantaneous and not self-sustaining.
Answer: If all meeps are sheep and all sheep are mammals then all meeps are mammals but it does not follow that (the reverse is true in that) all mammals are meeps.
In Short: That depends how you define a star, but not necessarily and in reality not at all, to draw such a comparison is an example of metaphor (unless discussing a star).
Even Shorter: No.

As a result of fusion hydrogen atoms are converted into helium and energy is released.

Do stars combust?
Stars are not powered by combustion; they are powered by nuclear fusion, which is a fundamentally different and far more energetic process.
In what layer of the sun does fusion take place?
The core.
What is the process called that takes place at the center of the stars?
Nuclear fusion; the merger of small atoms into larger ones.
Is fusion or fission the main energy source for stars?
Nuclear Fusion
What is the process by which stars burn brightly?
Stars get their energy from nuclear fusion - mainly, hydrogen to helium.Stars get their energy from nuclear fusion - mainly, hydrogen to helium.Stars get their energy from nuclear fusion - mainly, hydrogen to helium.Stars get their energy from nuclear fusion - mainly, hydrogen to helium.
What is the fuel that runs fusion in stars?
Initially it is hydrogen. When that is spent, stars move to fusion of helium. There are also other fusion processes which take place: which process depends on the stars' mass.

What conditions common to most stars including your sun appear to be necessary in order for fusion reactions to take place?
Neclear Fusion because stars are powered by that, even our sun
What environmental conditions common to most stars including your sun appear to be necessary in order for fusion reactions to take place?
Neclear Fusion because stars are powered by that, even our sun
What is the site of nuclear fusion on the sun?
If you are asking where does solar nuclear fusion take place, then that would be at the core of stars.
Why doesn't nuclear fusion take place in a white dwarf?
White dwarfs are too cool for nuclear fusion to take place.
Can fusion take place in the nucleus of a uranium atom?
Not fusion, but a fission reaction.
Are all-stars fusion reactors?
Yes, stars are fusion reactors.
Are stars in the main sequence when nuclear fusion of any element is taking place?
No. Stars are only in the main sequence when they are fusing hydrogen.
What type of nuclear reaction takes place in stars?
Nuclear fusion is the type of nuclear reaction that occurs in stars. Older stars with a collapsing center can exceed a temperature of one hundred million Kelvin.
What is the main type of fusion taking place in the sun?
Nuclear fusion of hydrogen isotopes take place to form helium.
