No. If the bankruptcy is dismissed, it ended before it was completed, very likely before discharge, although sometimes and objection to discharge is filed after something happens to make the discharge voidable by the court (trustee finds unlisted assets, for example).
A discharge is essentially a permanent restraining order prohibiting any creditor from trying to collect a debt from the debtor, unless specifically exempted (child support arrears, some taxes, student loans, etc.).

When can you refile bankruptcy after a previous bankruptcy discharge?
That depends on your situation. If you have filed but not received discharge of debt, then you may refile immediately. If you filed for chapter 7 and received discharge of debt, then you can file eight years after discharge date for chapter 7. If filed under chapter 13 and received discharge of debt, can refile after two years for same chapter 13. http://www.jacksonwhitelaw.com/what-we-do/get-help-filing-for-bankruptcy/ If the first bankruptcy, C. 7, was dismissed for cause, you have to wait 180 days before refiling. If you file a C. 7 and get a discharge, you can file a C, 13 immediately after the 7 is closed, called a "Chapter 20" by bankruptcy lawyers who know what they are talking about.
