No, it doesn't. But Finder displays : as / because : used to be the file path separator on Mac OS 9. And Finder still has got this weird behaviour when displaying file names.

Finder even in macOS Catalina considers the : to be an illegal filename character. Error will come up "Try using a name with fewer characters or with no punctuation marks."
Go figure.
