No. That's roughly what GDP is - the total value of goods and services produced within a nation during a year (or quarter, typically expressed at an annual rate). I say roughly because it includes some things, like missiles and jail construction, you might not think of as a use value, and excludes household-produced items and depreciation of the natural environment.
