No, Matthias was chosen as the new 12th Apostle. Paul was never an Apostle per se, but oddly enough did more than the others in my opinion to spread the Word.
I think you might get some disagreement from Paul on that statement. 1 Corinthians 9:1
There are a multitude of reasons why we know more about Paul's ministry than the others.....but primary is the fact he was chosen by the Lord. Matthias was chosen by men.
Wrong. Paul was every much an Apostle as any of the other 12. See Rom 1:1 as well as many other of Paul's letters.

The drawing was done before the Ru'ach HaKodesh came at Shavuot. ( Pentecost ) When men make choices without consulting G-d they fail! We never hear of Matthias again. Y'shua then chose Paul as His Apostle.
Matthias was man's choice. Drawn by lot.
