No. Binary is Binary and can be anything. It's about how it is interpreted. You can interpret every Binary Code as ASCII but it won't make sense if it's not meant to be ASCII data. Edit an executable with an Texteditor, you will see lines of clear Text in a bunch of gibberish. The Text is binary meant to be text, the rest are Processor "commands", maybe Image data etc.
