No. The area commonly called "Mesopotamia" is today mostly in Iraq. Kurdistan is in in northern Iraq with portions also in Iran, Syria, and Turkey.

While there are parts of Mesopotamia that overlap with areas of Kurdistan, the majority of Mesopotamia is outside of Kurdistan and the majority of Kurdistan is outside of Mesopotamia.

In which year was Kurdistan divided?

Three years: 1639, 1919, 1923.Most of what is today considered Kurdistan was united last during the Safavid Empire of Shah Ismail I. At the end of the Ottoman-Safavid War of 1623-1639, the Treaty of Zuhab was signed, which ceded to the Ottomans control of Mesopotamia. This cut off what is today called Iranian Kurdistan (remaining under Safavid Persian control) from the other regions of Kurdistan, which came under Ottoman control. In 1919, the Treaty of Versailles split Iraqi Kurdistan and Syrian Kurdistan off from Turkish Kurdistan, giving them to a British and French mandate respectively. There was a small attempt to create an independent Kurdistan in what is now southeast Turkey, but this was cut short by the War of Turkish Independence and the signing of the Treaty of Lausanne in 1923 which finalized the Turkish-Syrian and Turkish-Iraqi borders.
