Not exactly.

A slightly over simplified response is that there is a difference
between "making something public" and "putting it in the public
domain".  A more nuanced response involves asking about jurisdiction,
legal arrangements, etc.  This is why specifically putting images and/or
texts under one of the appropriate Creative Commons licenses is a good
idea if you want them to be used in this situation.

But in this case I doubt if anyone would object.
