No, but it's certainly a possibility. He wouldn't be the first pastor to ever tell a lie.
Look, you have to consider every possible explanation. Not just the ones you prefer. Assuming the boy could not have simply internalized the stories in advance, and I don't exclude that possibility, you are still left with several other explanations. Only one of them is that he really saw exactly what the books says. There's no reason to believe this story.
FTR, I spent about five hours at my synagogue today so it's not like I a big Jesus advocate or anything. I heard the father on Steve Malzberg's show. Malzberg is also Jewish and not a promoter of charlatans during my listening experience. Something happened that isn't easy to explain.

You don’t believe in visions? Obviously the child had a vision, and he peopled it with Christian images. Even the saints do this, because we only paint with the colors of our experiences.
Seeing isn’t believing.
Believing is seeing.
