No it's not, yet we see this written so many times. This may sound pedantic but:
QNE is
NOT 1013.2mb / 29.92 inches. That pressure setting is, has been, and always will be, the
STANDARD ALTIMETER SETTING
QNE is the level, indicated on an altimeter, when 1013.2 / 29.92 is set on the altimeter. Normally used at high altitude strips where there are no means of obtaining an accurate QNH, and where the altitude of the strip is unknown.
