That would be no. Frontier worked on 6, AppleEvents were 7+ only, and just barely according to the Gang of Four who controlled what actually made it into System 7. Thank Ed Lai for making AE solid enough to pass all the QA tests.
After System 7 shipped, work started on AppleScript, shipping 1.0 as a separate install disk with System 7 Pro and then 1.1 integrated into System 7.5, I believe. It's been a while.
Amusingly, it turns out the Wikipedia has a decent description of the history on these two pages:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_7_(Macintosh) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AppleScript
