No it isn't - it's all vector graphics, because an image of those  
pixel dimensions probably wouldn't even load in the browser. The JPEG  
format only goes up to 30,000px in either dimension, and this would be  
around 1,000,000,000px...

Something similar would be possible in Rev using either a series of  
images for different zoom levels, or an image file for each object  
plus a bunch of fancy scaling handlers, but the file size would be  
correspondingly larger than the example given.
