No.

On the RPi,

mmcblk0 is always the (first) SD card in Linux, when in the SD card
slot. mmcblk0p1, the first partition; mmcblk0p2 the second, etc.

sda is the first USB connected drive. If you put an SD card into a USB
SD card reader, it will come up as sd?

AFAIK this SD card nomenclature also holds for any Linux-driven PC. Macs
may vary, I don't know.
