No, icing sugar is incredibly fine ground up sugar. Cornstarch (although it looks similar) is cornflour; a type of flour made from corn kernals. Cornstarch is not 'sweet' in the same way that icing sugar is.

Because powdered sugar is so fine and has cornstarch in it, it is not going to be as sweet as regular sugar.

The cornstarch would be a factor also possibly making the cake denser or tougher.
