Yes, but it's not simply MasterCAM inside Solidworks. It is a stripped down version of MasterCAM created explicitly for Solidworks. It does not have all the toolpaths and other features that a standalone license of MasterCAM contains.

From talking to the MasterCAM people at Westec about it the last two years, it's designed for people with minimal CAM experience who want to go straight from Solidworks to machined part with minimal input. Essentially it emphasizes convenience at the expense of customization.
