The omasum is the third stomach of a cow/ruminant and it has multiple folds in it to help in digestion
The Omasum is the third chamber of the ruminant stomach. It contains many folds so which enables water to be absorbed from the digesta that came from the rumen. The omasum is typically located between the rumen and the abomasum.
Cows do not have two or four stomachs. They only have one stomach with four chambers. Thus, the chambers go as follow, in order from front to rear: reticulum, rumen, omasum, and abomasum.

As far as I know, the cow has 4 main regions of the stomach: the rumen, reticulum, sub-omasum and omasum. They each have different sorts of functions.
In a matter of speaking, yes, but technically, no. Cows have three forestomachs and one true stomach. The "fourth stomach" then would be the abomasum, while the other forestomachs are called, in order, the reticulum, rumen and omasum. It can also be agreed upon, by common knowledge though, that cows have one main stomach with four compartments, thus the fourth compartment would be known as the abomasum.
