May or may be not.
When size of body is very small compared to the size of earth then centreof mass and centre of gravity are same point or coincide.
But when the size of objects is comparable to size of earth then centre of mass and centre of gravity may not coincide

Center of mass is the point in the body or a system of particles where the mass of the whole body seems to be concentrated. It is found by taking the weighted average position of the mass.
A body can be balanced by applying a force through the center of gravity.
Definition:
Center of mass:- it is the weighted average position of mass in a body or a system of particles.
Center of gravity:- It is the point in a body where the net torque due to gravitational forces is 0. Center of gravity is the point where the weight of the body acts
