In my opinion definitely not. In fact I hadn't even considered that possibility until, to my astonishment, I saw it popping up in people's discussion.
Foyet DID talk about the way they profile that stabbing is a substitution for sex. But he is very much the clever and manipulative unsub, and he was using that discussion to make Hotch feel even more violated than breaking into his house and stabbing him already had. He knew that discussing the sexual element would make that aspect of Hotch's job more personal for him, so he'll never be able to talk about stabbing, or the supposed meaning of it being sexual, without thinking of Foyet.
It's just another way of getting under Hotch's skin.
