No, a magnetic field is induced by moving electric charges. If a ferrous material (one containing iron) is placed in a magnetic field, the individual magnetic dipoles can be aligned in accordance with the magnetic field. Since the molten iron in the earth's core carries charges, a magnetic field is induced around the earth (with field lines coming OUT of the south pole and into the north). This magnetic field can align magnetic dipoles just as any man-made electromagnet can.
