No. Photo Stream is a service that uploads recent photos so that you can import them to another device. See the following for more information: My Photo Stream - Apple Support


It is a service that is being discontinued soon. See: Information about the My Photo Stream shutdown - Apple Support


Google Photos is somewhat similar to iCloud Photos. See: Set up and use iCloud Photos - Apple Support
