No, a bastard child is one born outside of marriage. Generally obsolete language now, except when used in a derogatory sense. In this case it would mean a person of low moral standards - probably originating from the original sense of having no proper (married) parents.

Alternately the term can be used as the identification of an awkward or unusual object. Often it is applied to tools that are not of standard size or configuration ( a bastard file: a file whose teeth configuration is in between a rough or coarse file and a 'second cut' file, a bastard sword: a sword which has no legitimate claim to being classified as either a single-handed or two-handed weapon). This could also be applied to a person.
