No. For example, on May 22, the Full Moon rises between 5 to 20 minutes AFTER the sun sets between latitudes of 0 and +50 degrees north. It rises 20 minutes after sunset at the equator, and 4 minutes after sunset near +42 North latitude. The orbit of the Moon is not co-planar with the ecliptic so the Moon and Sun are not 180 degrees apart on the sky for all geographic latitudes.
