No, FSEvents is at a lower level. Interestingly, though, folder actions were originally based on FSEvents. The release notes for 10.11 say: "Folder Actions now reliably notices all added and removed items in an observed folder.", which implies they weren't reliable beforehand, and I'm pretty sure the change involved abandoning FSEvents for GCD dispatch queues. Just sayin'.
