Not really false colored but color enhanced. The colors are real but sharpened by filtering. This is false color, because we can't normally see infrared:

Yes and no. Colors in the visible spectrum are enhanced, invisible are false-colored. We can never see IR, nor can we see hydrogen, helium, etc. without modification.
