No, a four-star general is not a lieutenant general. A four-star general holds the rank of general, which is the highest rank in the U.S. Army, Air Force, and Marine Corps. In contrast, a lieutenant general is a three-star rank, which is one level below a four-star general.
A 5 star general in the Marine Corps would be called an imposter because there is no such person. The generals in the USMC are Brigadier General ( 1 star ) Major General ( 2 star ) Lieutenant General ( 3 star ) and General ( 4 star ). There is no 5 star general in the USMC. The general who outranks a 4 star general is the Commandant of the Marine Corps but is himself a General ( 4 star ). He is outranked by the Secretary of the Navy and is a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
