No, it is a simile. There is a distinct difference between the two terms.

A simile normally contains the word 'like' or it sounds more like a comparison, so for example; as white as a ghost

A metaphor tends to say that something IS something but not literally, just in one specific way for example; a heart of stone ...the heart is not literally made of stone but the metaphor is comparing it to a cold object that does not have emotion.

Is kick him right square a metaphor?

A metaphor compares two objects that are different without like or as. A metaphor would be "the moon is a cookie". Kick him right square does not compare two things, so it would not be a metaphor. It seems more like an idiom, which does not mean what it is saying. For example, the idiom "Kick the bucket" means death, but a new speaker to English cannot tell because it does not mean what it literally says.
