No.
Here's something from an interview Julie did for TV.com or TVline. The reporter asked her when did she know what she wanted TVD to be, was there a moment that clicked for her?
She answered that she and Kevin got the job late in the game, they wrote the Pilot and it got picked up, and then they were writing S1; so they never had a chance to talk about what they wanted the show to be. In the first couple of episodes they knew they had to set the 'key relationships' in motion. And when they were writing 1x03, Kevin called her and pitched the Damon-Stefan storyline where Stefan was upset that Damon was using Caroline, and then Damon kills Coach Tanner. And then at the end of the episode, we see Damon standing at Elena's bedside watching her sleep. "And when Kevin pitched that to me, I felt like a tug in my chest, like, oh my God, this is important. This is important. This triangle, this duality of this character, the relationship between these brothers, what each one stands for and how it's all going to center around this girl - is so important."
That, and the moment when Elena goes to see Stefan and asks outright "What are you?" are the two defining moments when Julie suddenly knew what she wanted the show to be. The pilot and Stefan's story/narrative didn't figure in it at all. So the Pilot was obviously not important to her. She and Kevin wrote it in a rush, and they didn't see the show as essentially 'Stefan's story'. It's obviously not meant to be a sign as to who will dictate endgame.
