No, not at all. In fact, pulumi uses teraform under the hood to do the actual work.
I suggest looking at the client libraries for individual services.

Note that we only use TF for certain providers (AWS, Azure, and GCP). We do not use TF for Kubernetes. The Pulumi engine itself does not use Terraform.
