No.

"If the execl() function fails due to an error equivalent to the [ENOEXEC]
error defined in the System Interfaces volume of POSIX.1-2017, the shell
shall execute a command equivalent to having a shell invoked with the
pathname resulting from the search as its first operand, with any remaining
arguments passed to the new shell, except that the value of "$0" in the new
shell may be set to the command name."

POSIX doesn't define any executable formats, including #!.
