No, that's not how the Apple Silicon works - it was at the very start, but the processor cores haven't been based on Arm IP since the A6, since then the Arm designed cores were replaced with fully custom cores that are just compatible with the Arm instruction set.

Same with the GPU except that was later on - it was a licensed PowerVR IP until Apple started using their own custom GPU from the A11.
