Answer: No. While Mendix does use the OData query parameters like $filter, $top and $skip, it leaves some performance gains on the table. In Mendix, external entities are published as a standard OData service which exposes its data as entities. On the consuming end, Mendix abstracts it by importing the service contract into the app allowing developers to work with remote entities as if it were local entities without managing the underlying REST calls themselves.
