Not quite.
To quote the handbook:
RELENG_4_8
The release branch for FreeBSD-4.8, used only for security
advisories and other seriously critical fixes.
and
RELENG_4_8_0_RELEASE
FreeBSD 4.8
[i.e., the latter is the actual release, and the former is the
"release branch," which continues to get updated -- but only for
essential changes -- after the actual release.]
