Nope. That's a push-up bra.
A shelf bra is an extra layer of fabric inside the t-shirt or cami in
the bust area, usually made of the same fabric as the shirt. It's
attached to the shirt at the neckline and side seams and there's elastic
at the lower edge directly under the bust. It provides extra coverage
so your nipples don't show through (especially in light colored knits)
and, in small busted women, it offers a little bit of support.
