No, it's not, because routers generate ICMP TTL Exceeded packets with
totally different machinery, separated from the forwarding path.  Many
factors influence the ms numbers traceroute reports (MPLS, main CPU
load, priority on internal busses), and only some of them correlate
with forwarding latency.
