Er..no.  That's why there is the term 'cosmos' instead of universe.  Cosmos includes universes that might have predated our own, or universes that are outside of our own (multiverse), or universes that might come after our own.

That's why Sagan says that the cosmos is everything that has been, is, and will be.  It's the all-inclusive term for 'everything,' while 'universe' is just for our current universe.  That's just the definition of cosmos.
