No. They do design work for chips but they do not have any fabs to actually make chips. Samsung and in the future TSMC are the ones actually making the chips for google.
But yeah maybe they just want some advice on SoC design. The Pixel phones do have decent hardware i must admit.
I think it could be because Google may offer them quite a bit longer hardware support. They had to go with some industrial SoC for the FP5 to get Qualcomm to offer even a half decent hardware support cycle.

While I agree it seems unlikely that they’d use google designed chips I don’t think Qualcomm has their own fabs either.
