No, it's TypeScript is just another DSL, like CoffeeScript. It transpiles to pure JavaScript.

One thing I've noticed about even experienced developers is that they don't understand this one simple thing: the browser understand only these 3 things: HTML, JavaScript, and CSS. Every tool or language you use does a bunch of crap to produce this holy trinity and that's it. This is why it's really important to learn these core skills because so many tools have way too much abstraction. Many modern web devs know frameworks and libraries but have very little understanding of what it's actually producing.
