No, it's a stimulating electrode implanted surgically in selected brain targets. The difference is: TMS is inaccurate/broad/hard to target, and wears off either when you shut off the TMS or a few days to weeks later. Think a weaker version of ECT. DBS allows focus on specific brain targets, and the effect lasts for the lifetime of the electrodes/device.
