Yes. An approximation that does a better job than "actual anti-aliasing" in a lot of cases .
If I play games in 1080p, the native resolution of my display, a high FXAA setting removes aliasing better than MSAA, especially when it comes to foliage and similar little details. In which case even 8x MSAA can't seem to do a good job. What more, FXAA isn't as demanding as MSAA. It will look blurry if you run the game at a resolution lower than your native one, but otherwise, it looks just as good as MSAA on most accounts, and beats it when it comes to the smaller details like foliage, wire fences, etc.
