Yes. The OSM "data items" use the same software as Wikidata, but it's an
entirely separate installation on wiki.openstreetmap.org. Technically,
it's just an add-on (extension) for the wiki software.

There *is* a Wikidata link on some key and tag pages, but that is simply
an outgoing external link which doesn't do anything magical and is
unrelated to the above.
