No, still files called `.DOC` but with a different internal format.
There have been at least 3 successive MS Word file formats:
Word for DOS, WinWord 1/2/6/95: old .DOC format
(I think this also applies to Classic MacOS Word 1-5.)
Word 97, 2000, XP, 2003: new .DOC format
(Classic MacOS Word 98, X and 2001 were based on a port of the Windows codebase. Mac OS X Word 2004 and later are OS X-only, but are still based on the Windows codebase and use the same file formats.)
Word 2007-365: new Zipped XML format, .DOCX
