No. Donkeys are pseudo ruminants, which are not true ruminants since they:

a) do not chew cud

b) do not have a multiple-chambered stomach.

They do, however, have a large cecum which is responsible for the majority of the fermentation that goes on in the donkey's digestive system. It is for this reason that they are called hind-gut fermentors, but never ruminants.

Which is cheaper to keep a donkey cow or Falabella horse?

Most likely it would be the Falabella horse as it is the smallest and will therefore eat the least. They likely would not require shoes, and typically equine veterinarians and farriers will charge less for the care of a small equine such as a miniature or Falabella. They also require less space then a donkey or cow.
