No, it's not usually.

If in an aggressive atmosone, eg, in a fight, a tap might mean you want to have a fight with the other person, or you want to say something or point fingers in an aggressive manner. So it all depends on the situation, and the person you are interacting with. It would be very disrespectful to tap a high chief (matai), a person of The Cloth (priest, pastor, nun, etc), elders, elderly, etc, not unless you are kin or family or extended family members. One would usually know when to touch and when not to touch.
