To a certain extent yes, but it was designed to be operated by the Air Force and Marines. Had they maybe split the variants up they could have avoided some of the design compromises that created some of the problems they had.
Still, the V-22 was a vastly more successful program than the JSF will be. At the very least the military got an aircraft that can perform missions no other aircraft can, thereby giving the services capabilities they've never had before. I don't think that will be the case for the JSF when it is all said and done.
edit: Made a mistake, Navy doesn't have V-22's yet
