Nope.

Suppose your WC is pointing to trunk and you create a branch/tag from
your WC. This creates the branch/tag in the repository based on the
revisions loaded in your WC. However, your WC is still pointing at
trunk and you next update/commit will come from trunk. If you want to
commit to the branch, you need to switch your WC.
