After further investigation, apparently it is and it isn't;)

Yes, in that Scott has stated it will address the question of where the derelict alien space craft in that movie came from, and that astute observers will be able to recognize the "DNA" of that movie in this one. The movie was originally announced as a prequel, before Scott became director.
No, in that Ridley Scott has disavowed any direct link to the Alien movies. He stated that it is an original, distinct science fiction project when he first became the director, and even now insists that its role in setting up the first Alien movie is an organic result of the ending they have constructed.
