No, the 1st Canto Chapter 3 verses 13 and 24 of Srimad
Bhagavatam does mention about Lord Buddha, son of
Anjana and Lord Rsabha, son of King Nabhi. 

In verse 24, appearance of Lord Buddha is predicted

tatah kalau sampravrtte sammohaya sura-dvisam
buddho namnanjana-sutah kikatesu bhavisyati 

Then, in the beginning of Kali-yuga, the Lord will
appear as Lord Buddha, the son of Anjana, in the
province of Gaya, just for the purpose of deluding
those who are envious of the faithful theist.

And is Lord Rsabha mentioned in verse 13

astame merudevyam tu nabher jata urukramah
darsayan vartma dhiranam sarvasrama-namaskrtam

The eighth incarnation was King Rsabha, son of King
Nabhi and his wife Merudevi. In this incarnation the
Lord showed the path of perfection, which is followed
by those who have fully controlled their senses and
who are honored by all orders of life.
