No, I don't think so, because asbestos is the material commonly used , which means it's not the only one. Furthermore, the sheets or boards aren't made only of asbestos; there is cement.

Does all fibro contain asbestos?
No. The use of asbestos in fibro was phased out during the 1980s, and stopped entirely by 1987. Nowadays, fibro is reinforced with cellulose rather than asbestos.
