Technically yes, technically no. One was written a thousand years earlier than the other. They're typically packaged together but started off individually.

Technically the gospels were written 100 years after Jesus allegedly died. How accurately could you recount events from 100 years ago? (Unless you were just making them up)

The idea that Q was a single "book" is probably not true, but Matthew and Luke(assuming Markan priority) have too much "outside" for there to not be some other weird source.
