Nope. From your Wikipedia link: "As with GPS in general, WAAS is composed of three main segments; the Ground segment, the Space segment, and the User segment."
Accordingly the 'space' segment consists of two WAAS satellites in geosynchronous orbit right now. These are in addition to the fleet of GPS satellites.
In addition to WAAS, their are some other less well known augmentation systems such as EGNOS which is Europe's version, and LAAS which is a ground based localized version.
