Not really, the English "Oi!" is used assertively as a strong interjection. Something you'd shout across the street.
In Italian "oh!" is similar but more flexible and we use it constantly, at least north of the Po river, to assert oneself, as expression of pain, as expression of sadness, etc.
Similarly expressive is our "eh!"; usually used to reinforce and agree with someone else. "Eh! Te l'ho detto!"
