No...the demon never said Jesus was God, he said Son of God. Legion knew Jesus had access to God's power because of his doings, as it is mentioned in Luke Chapter 11 Verse Number 20:
"I with the finger of God cast out devils"
Matthew 12:28:
"I cast out devils by the Spirit of God"
So Legion knew Jesus had authority over them. What was he going to do? Attack Jesus? He knew better. His miracle, in Mark 1:23-26:
"And immediately there was in their synagogue a man with an unclean spirit. And he cried out, “What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God.” But Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silent, and come out of him!” And the unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying out with a loud voice, came out of him."
