No.
Republicans paid for opposition research on Trump. Opposition research is is routine in political elections. Once Trump became the Republican nominee, the DNC picked up the tab.
This is opposition research. There is nothing wrong with this. There is nothing illegal with opposition research. As is plainly the case here, both sides do this. This is routine.
This memo is trying to make it out like the DNC hired Steele and GPS Fusion to make Trump look bad. This is false. The Republicans originally hired Steele and GPS Fusion.
This opposition research / dossier was only a part of the investigation that lead to FISA warrants.
