No; Echinodermata is the phylum of starfish and sea cucumbers. Sea squirts actually belong to the phylum Chordata, just like all vertebrates, including us! Their larva has a structure that's considered the early version of a backbone, explaining why they're classified that way; they're related to vertebrates.
