No. AWZ3 is merely a file extension, and can contain any type of file. It so happens that "The tools that shall remain nameless" give a KF8 file a ".AWZ3" extension, but that's just what those tools do; there's no reason that a KF8 file has to have a ".AZW3" extension and there's no reason that a file with a ".AZW3" extension should contain a KF8 file. If you create a KF8 file with "KindleGen", for example, it will have a ".mobi" extension.

It's as well to separate the two things. KF8 is not AZW3 and AZW3 is not KF8.
