Do non-metals form a stable outer electron configuration by losing electrons and becoming anions?

NO.
Nonmetals tend to GAIN electrons to complete their outer shell. By gaining electrons, they become a negatively charged species, which is what an anion is. Metals tend to LOSE electrons to end up with a full outer shell; in losing electrons, they develop a positive charge (become cations).
