No it isn't, it is a blocked off trem - quite a different beast.
Gudster, can't help you with your search but when I was looking for a hardtail strat I ended up with a G&L. It is a brilliantly well made guitar, and out played any Fender hardtail I found.
I consider my Clapton a hard tail. The trem does nothing! Sure it is not string to wood but not really a trem. For that I have my Floyd Rose equipped guitars.
My search for a hardtail strat ended with me building a mutt. It is basically a Highway One neck on a light ash Musikraft body and a warmoth narrow-spaced vintage bridge. The pups are Dimarzios. Fender doesn't make many strats this cool!
hmmm.... my Clapton has a trem with a whammy bar - but there is an angled block of wood inside the cavity to stop the trem from moving.
A hard tail would have either string-through the body like a tele or a top-mount bridge.
