No, not at all. The company, Opera Software ASA, is still headquartered in Oslo, Norway, and independent of Google or any other company.
Opera 15, which came out in 2013, was the first version that was based on the Chromium/Blink rendering engine, which is the same engine used by Google Chrome. So, maybe that is what confused you. It is common practice for the same rendering engines to be used by varying browsers. For example, Gecko is the same engine that was used by Netscape and is used by Firefox, which was originally an outcropping of Netscape itself anyway. As a further example, Trident (used by internet Explorer), Webkit (used by Apple Safari and previous versions of Google Chrome), and Gecko are all used in a multi-engine web browser named Lunascape Orion, which can be found at http://www.lunascape.tv.
If there is something else that led you to consider the possibility of Opera becoming the intellectual property of Google, feel free to drop me a line and let me know because in my investigation for composing this answer, I found nothing other than the redesign of Opera with the new engine that would lead to that rumor. I am always glad to learn some new bit of news and update my answers here when appropriate.

Is Google not working on Opera Browser. The Whole Google Franchise is not allowing me to use YouTube Google etc?
Opera has been my main browser for the last ten years, and all programs and sites work just fine for me, including Google and YouTube. But it's true that some site and program features try to make it a little harder for you in Opera, because Google tries to push you towards using Google Chrome. Hovever, if you google 'install chrome features in opera' you get a simple how-to that will allow you to use Opera with all the Chrome features.
