It is not. Tennis elbow is the inflammation of ligaments in the elbow, primarily the lateral epicondyle. Strengthening muscles around these ligaments, such as the anconeus muscle, does help prevent straining the ligaments.

What is the difference between golfers elbow and tennis elbow?
Tennis elbow and Golfer's elbow are two types of sore elbow. The prominent knuckles (epicondyles) on either side of the elbow joint provide attachment to groups of forearm muscles. Due to the concentration of muscular attachments in a small area, these epicondyles are victimized by a constant pull from the muscles. Certain activities like tennis, golf, household work, and so on, lead to inflammation of these epicondyles causing sore elbow. Inflammation of the epicondyle on the outer side of the elbow (lateral) is called tennis elbow. Inflammation of the epicondyle on the inner side of the elbow (medial) is called golfer's elbow. Though, tennis and golf predispose people to these diseases, it is not a rule. Infact many people who dont play these games and lead a sedentary life may also get these diseases.

What other than the tricep muscles do tricep curls work?
I don't believe that triceps curl is the correct term, as the triceps serve to extend the elbow joint rather than flex it. Triceps extensions, on the other hand, are generally used to train the triceps group, but they also benefit a rather small muscle, located almost on the elbow, called the anconeus. The function of the anconeus is to assist the main elbow extensors, the triceps, and to stabilize the elbow when the arm is straight.
