Certainly not. Synchronous replication only says that multiple nodes 
process transactions synchronously, i.e. at the same time. That term 
does not say anything about other properties, like if it's multi-master 
or master-slave replication or on what level (complete database system, 
per database, per relation) you can configure replication.

For more information you might want to have a look at my compilation of 
terms and definitions [1].
