Kinda. But there's really more to SOA than just the fact that you've got a
webservice in the equation. Read the wikipedia page on it:

It depends on what the service is doing. If the service if bridging an
integration gap between one or more systems then generally software+services
= SOA. The systems must be completly separate.
