No, Venus and Adonis is a verse poem of some 50 or so verses, (I didn't check, I guessed). Each verse has six lines, (sestina) rather than 14 (Sonnet), so it's both structured differently and much much longer than the sonnet form.
However V&A was composed before the period generally accepted for the sonnets, and it has influenced the arguments of some of the sonnets in Sequence I, the young friend sequence.
Hope this helps.
