No, that is the Pacific Theatre. Eastern Front in WWII unambiguously refers to the European theatre of the Axis-Soviet conflict in Western post-war study. The problem with that term is of course that from the Soviet/Russian perspective, the enemy was coming from the West, so they refer to the European theatre as the Great Patriotic War - a rather loaded and mostly unheard of term in the West.
So academia has had to come up with new rather obscure neutral terminology like the German-Soviet Conflict or Russo-German War.
