No. You intercept the GS long before FAP.

The FAF/FAP mark the beginning of the last segment. FAF is used for non-precision (non-glideslope) approaches, and FAP for ILS approaches.

The FAP is usually indicated by a Maltese Cross symbol. In the absence of that, the best clue that a fix on an ILS is the FAP is the GS crossing altitude indication.
