Osmosis is defined as the movement of water through a semipermeable membrane from a region of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration. In theory water could be actively pumped and it would still count as osmosis so it might not always be passive. But in cells water passes through proteins called Aquaporins which allow the passive transport of water.

LONG TO SHORT YES IT IS PASSIVE
