No. Hyperbole is an exaggeration. I was so cold last night that my nose turned into an icicle and dropped off. An idiom is any combination of words in a language where the meaning is not quite what you might expect. When Dubya tried to talk French the way he didn't know how to pronounce 'r' stuck out a mile. 'Stuck out a mile' just means 'was very obvious'.
