No.  For lookup by value you can use Hash#rassoc:

irb(main):003:0> h={"foo" => "bar"}
=> {"foo"=>"bar"}
irb(main):004:0> h.rassoc "bar"
=> ["foo", "bar"]
irb(main):005:0> key, val = h.rassoc "bar"
=> ["foo", "bar"]
irb(main):006:0> key
=> "foo"

Be warned though that this may be inefficient.  You probably want a
second Hash keyed by value.

Kind regards
