Indirectly, yes: shutdown(8) sends either SIGINT, SIGUSR or SIGUSR2 to init(8), which runs /etc/rc.shutdown before killing all remaining processes and either reboot / halt or start a single-user shell, while reboot(8) and halt(8) send SIGTSTP to init(8), then SIGTERM to every other process in the system, then SIGKILL to any process that hasn't responded to SIGTERM after somewhere between five and sixty seconds, before issuing a reboot(2) syscall.
