No, that's not DVNR. The best way to explain what DVNR is is to do this
Take a pencil and lightly shade a section of the page, now take your finger, and smudge it until you no longer have individual lines but a basically solid grey area. That's basically what DVNR does, sacrifice detail for uniformity and grain reduction. If you have the new Animal House disc, compare the laundromat scene in the new documentary (where are they now) to the one in the actual movie. That's an extreme example mind you, the smearing is pretty bad there, and probably the source of Landis' desire to "degrade" the transfer
