No.
Aah, got it. That's not a digital game map, but something you print.
You could print it for sure, but you can also use it digitally in a virtual tabletop (VTT), which is probably even the more common use case.
A battlemap in a TTRPG is a visual aide for playing, typically but not necessarily during a battle (hence the name) or a conflict scene of some kind. This map could be used in any game, however you wouldn't be likely to use it in something like Cyberpunk or Delta Green due to the genre mismatch. The game itself is going to have its own rules for how to manage those scenes and the map itself is system-agnostic.
