Not really.

The land which was part of the Babylonian Empire is mostly contained in modern Iraq now but culturally and territorially they two aren't much alike.

Iraq is territorially a construct from the colonial period, and culturally influenced by Arabic, Islamic and Persian states (and a bunch of others) over time.

No, Babylon was a country.

Babylon was a city, once the centre of the Babylonian empire. It is now a derelict ruin, not far from Baghdad.

To a certain extent, yes. Babylonia is present-day Iraq; but, remember, Babylon is the capital city of Babylonia.

The Babylonia empire reached the lands of Egypt to the lands of Turkey. The capital was in southern Iraq, so the city of Babylon was unearthed and it's location is in Iraq.

The Arabic name of Babylonia, al-ʿIrāq, is thought to be derived from the name Uruk, via Aramaic and possibly Middle Persian transmission.

Generally speaking yes, Babylon existed so long ago and people move so much throughout history that it makes it hard to say absolutely yes.
