No it is not, well maybe if you were more precise and said
is an identity, you would be right(The bars show absolute value)
The simple reason why (there are more complicated versions which have their purpose) is because when you take the square root of any number you get 2 answers. For instance
equals plus or minus 2 (we need to have both). Since the absolute value of both a positive and a negative number is positive, the absolute value can be used in this case.

This is why is used in the identity instead of x (ignore the 0).
