No, it was planned as an expansion to AOWII, but then came out as a standalone game. It's often referred to as AOW 2,5.
I played AOWI and remember that there was one single thing that ruined the game for me: Heroes were much to strong. After some training they would crush every army.
In SM that is much better balanced. I do not remember having played AOW II, I guess I advanced to SM immediately.
Well, all I can say is: It's great, and there is much community content (great scenarios!!) for it. You can probably get it for small coin and should give it a try.
