Hardly.

M-* runs the command pop-tag-mark
   which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `etags'.
It is bound to M-*.
(pop-tag-mark)

Pop back to where M-. was last invoked.

This is distinct from invoking M-. with a negative argument
since that pops a stack of markers at which tags were found, not from
where they were found.
