No, that's a minimal install.  A server spin installs the "fedora
selection" of servers to do usual server tasks, which probably means
things like http/https/webdav, web caching, ftpd, ldap, mail, DB, etc.

A minimal install is an install that is good enough to boot the
system, log on it and install what you really need, but is not in
practice usable by itself.
