In a way yes, except that WASM supports many more languages (e.g. back when I started to look into running C/C++ code in the browser - around 2010 or so - it was absolutely impossible to compile C/C++ to the JVM, which at the time would have been nice because Java Applets still were a thing - of course WASM didn't exist yet either, but Emscripten did, which eventually led to the creation of WASM via asm.js).
