No.

Not all binary compounds are ionic and not all ionic compounds are binary.

An ionic compound is a compound formed by the exchange rather than the sharing of electrons.

A binary compound is any compound of exactly 2 elements.

Examples:

Sodium chloride (NaCl, compound sodium and chlorine) is both binary and ionic.

Potassium hydroxide (KOH, compound of potassium, hydrogen, and oxygen) is ionic but not binary.

Water (H2O, compound of hydrogen and oxygen) is binary, but covalent, not ionic.
