Yes it is.
R.O.Y.G.B.I.V. is also an acronym.

Yeah, that's what I was assuming. That did not look well thought out at all (sorry).

No it isn't.
Acronyms are things that make a new word:
SCUBA, FIFA, RADAR, PETA

What was suggested was an initialism, this is just a jumble of letters:
CIA, WWF, CNN, FA

Acronyms must be pronouncable.
