No it did not. 27 BC was the year when Augustus concentrated power in his hands and is considered the end of the republican period. From then on Rome was under the personal rule of one man who is usually called emperor by historians. The term empire is often used with reference to this period of rule by one man which followed the rule by two annually elected consuls which characterised the Roman Republic. The Romans themselves did not use the term emperor. The Roman Empire, intended as territorial expansion and the conquest of other peoples started much earlier, during the Republic. Its beginning is a matter of opinion.
I think that it started with Rome's expansion into Italy when:
1) Following the Latin war of (340-338 BC), which was fought between Rome and Latin cities and Campanians who were allied to Rome but rebelled, Rome annexed a number of Latin cities and the Campanians (who lived north of Naples).
2) In the interwar period between the 2nd and 3rd Samnite Wars (305-297 BC), Rome subdued the Sabellian peoples of central Italy and turned them into allies.
3) In the Third Samnite War (394-290 BC), Rome defeated a Gallic tribe in central Italy and the Samnites. The territory of the Gallic tribe was annexed and the Samnites of southern Italy were turned into allies. The Lucanians, also a people in the south, became allies.
Rome did not annex these peoples, but she turned them into allies. What this means is that these peoples enjoyed autonomy and were nominally independent, but had to supply soldiers at their own expense and fight alongside the Romans in Rome's war. Rome also established colonies (settlements) in these areas to improve her control over these peoples. This was a form of indirect rule, which means that a people is subjected to a superior power, but are allowed self-governance. In this period Rome pursued an aggressive policy of (imperialist) territorial expansionism.
Other people see the Punic Wars as the beginning of the territorial empire:
1) After the First Punic War (264-241 BC) Rome took over the Islands od Sicily, Sardinia and Corsica
2) After the Second Punic War (218-202 BC), Rome took over southern Spain
3) After the Third Punic War (149-146 BC), Rome took over Carthage's territory (Tunisia).

When was the beginning of roman empire?
The beginning of the Roman Empire was in the 4th and 3rd century BC. In the 4th century BC and early 3rd century BC she expanded into central and southern Italy. She did not annex the peoples who leaved in these areas. Instead she turned into allies who had to pay a tribute and supply soldiers who fought in auxiliary troops which supported the Roman legions at their expense. Therefore, she established a form of imperialism by indirect rule. At the end of the First Punic War 264 BC- 241 BC) she annexed Carthage's territories in western Sicily and soon afterwards she seized Sardinia and Corsica from Carthage.
