No, Caesar summoned her to Rome. There's a difference. Caesar had established Cleopatra and her brother on the Egyptian throne, but the senate had to confirm their status as Allies.

It was much more efficient to have Cleopatra, on the spot to give answers, than to have her in Egypt writing long distance letters. By the way, Cleopatra never entered Rome itself. She was confined to Caesar's villa across the Tiber outside of the sacred city walls, the pomerium. This was because the Romans had a long standing rule that no crowned head could enter the city.
