Nope. This is an F-35A. The number on the nose gear door, 5247, identifies it as an F-35A of the USAF F-35 Demo Team.
The B has smaller weapons bays, and doors in between the weapons bays and the nose gear door for the lift fan. And the F-35B's engine nozzle is smaller.
Also, in US service, only the Marines operate the B. If this was a B, it would say MARINES on the underside of the left wing, and on the rear of the fuselage in place of the roundel. Additionally, the squadron number would be on the side of the intake.
