Well no, it isn't.
(besides the fact that X emulator doesn't actually exist. It would be like calling Firefox a HTML emulator)
Last time I read anything about it the Mir used Xorg infrastructure for everything to do with graphics drivers, mode setting, keyboard, and most other I/O stuff.
The end result was that Mir ended up a sort of compositor on top of Xorg that provided Mir APIs.
