No, it isn't. Those "tiers" are meaningless - a complete invention by OTCMarkets, who is not a regulator. They are a paid stock promoter. To move up a tier just means the Company can write a check. That means nothing and is not an "uplisting" as only Exchanges are, by definition, listings. OTC tiers are not exchange, so no listing.
As long as the check doesn't bounce, OTCMarkets is happy to "accept" any company that applies and is willing to waste their shareholder's money on such meaningless tripe.
