No. A Cabinet Minister is one of the (currently 39) Ministers of the Crown who are members of the Cabinet, a committee responsible for government policy chaired by the Prime Minister. Sometimes (though not currently) a Prime Minister will designate a Deputy Prime Minister, though the position is largely honorary and doesn't imply succession. There are also Deputy Ministers, but these are members of the civil service, not politicians.

The Deputy Prime Minister has always been a member of the Cabinet and has always held at least one substantive portfolio. (It would be technically possible for a minister to hold only the portfolio of Deputy Prime Minister, but this has never happened.) If the Prime Minister were to die, become incapacitated or resign, the Governor- General would normally appoint the Deputy Prime Minister as Prime Minister. If the governing or majority party had not yet elected a new leader, that appointment would be on an interim basis. Should a different leader emerge, that person would then be appointed Prime Minister.
