Not quite. Even if the entire length of a wing, swept or straight, stalls at the same time the separation of the airflow occurs towards the rear of the wing causing the centre of lift to move forward. Unchecked that may cause pitch up.
Isn't this why some types have a stick nudger to ensure pitch down at the stall?
