Yes, "fax" is short for "fascimile".

Generally, a fax is referred to only in terms of the electronic transmission known as faxing. It is not used in any other areas of language.

A fascimile is a term used in the same way for faxing as well, however it is also used in a wider range areas to mean a reproduction or clone or copy - one example would be art (a fascimile would be a reproduction of an art piece).

The word fascimile can be used almost anywhere the word fax is used, but not the other way around.
