No, the 2nd gen's wheel was touch based. From Cnet's review:

The new, static scroll wheel works just as well as the original iPod's rotating scroll wheel, which we suspect wasn't as durable as it could have been. But the static scroll wheel still allows for the same effortless menu navigation, enabling you to quickly find a track by song name, album, artist, genre, playlist, or composer.
