Maybe, but maybe not.

It looks more like a used "N" type coax connector, crimp style, that
has had the cable pulled off.

But you can't actually tell from this end; if it's a used connector,
the back end would be open (you could look into the guts).  If it's a
terminator, the back end would look like a closed metal cylinder,
inside of which is a 50 ohm resistor.

You can check with an ohm-meter -- you should see 50 ohms between the
pin and the cylindrical contact.
