No, not really, and I don't think the other reply about it being a 0th dimension makes much sense either. The key word is `spacial-dimensions`, whenever math talks about just spacial dimensions, there is no time dimension. In other words, a 0-dimensional 'world' would just be a point, 1 dimensional a line, etc. In something like flatland, where there are living beings, of course there would be a time dimension. But if you are just talking about the volume of shapes, all the dimensions are spacial. So when we go from 3D -> 4D in this scenario, we are adding an extra spacial dimension perpendicular to all the other 3. The idea that 4th D is time is more of something from physics, although the fact that we call it the 4th dimension doesn't mean much, it could be called 1st 2nd 3rd dimension and then a spacial one gets moved to a different number.
