No, entropy is a characteristic of energy in all systems. In some open systems, entropy can decrease, i.e. the deck of cards can be sorted into suits. In closed systems, entropy is a measure of disorder, which according to the 2d Law is "always tending to a maximum." The amount of energy and matter in a closed system never changes under the 1st Law -- energy or matter can neither be created nor destroyed."
Elementary physics.
