No, it's common to measure storage with MW when you're talking about dispatchable power.
For example, a 10 MW battery can replace a 10 MW gas generator (assuming it has enough capacity to cover the relevant peak, which is usually a fair assumption because that's what they're designed for). If you only know a battery has 20 MWh, that's not enough information to know what equivalent amount of generation or ramp it can replace.
