No.

Actually, yes and no. It would be the other way around though, the open ended question being a multiple choice question. Most, if not all, open ended questions are based on the answerer's opinion, and would contain more than one set answer. This would make the question, while still being open ended, a multiple choice question.

To clarify, use the following example:

Q: "Who is the best movie actor and why are they the best?"

A: Multiple. All based on opinion. (I pick Sean Connery, David Tennant, and Matt Smith (I know that he is not in any movies, at least none in the US, but he still is an actor); this makes my answer a multiple choice answer; as for why, They just play their parts magnificently.

You see, the example question could have more than one answer, which makes it multiple choice (or close to it) but asks the answerer to elaborate on why they think thus.
