It certainly did not. System 6 (including MultiFinder if you had enough RAM to support it ;) was active for several years in the early 90s before System 7 came out. The label "MacOS", meanwhile, didn't show up until a few years after that.
It seems Unix vendors really don't like low version numbers. Of course, Windows famously jumped from 3.x to 95, so it's not like they're any better.
Microsoft was surprisingly good at not skipping numbers, until the jump from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10, which also lead to the NT kernel jumping from 6.x to 10.
A lot of programs refused to work if there was a `9` in the version name.
That was of course because those programs needed something newer than Windows 95 or Windows 98. So they just did a string search for `9` in the version name.
There may be a few programs that wouldn't work on `8.9` or `10.9` if they were released for the same reason.
