Not necessarily. The context of the Isaiah 7 does not specifically indicate that it refers to Hezekiah. Presumably "the young woman" in question was someone known to both Isaiah and Ahaz. It could perhaps be one of Isaiah's sons referred to in Chapter 8. The important detail was not the specific identity of the son, but rather the timeframe in which God would save Israel from invasion.
