No it's not. It is 5 steps (frets) lower than the usual low E.
Some 5 strings have a high B added. That would be tuned 5 steps above open G.
A 5 string isn't the only way to get a low B. I just restringed my bass to BEAD. Still 4 strings so the neck is narrow, but I gave up the G string for the low B.
