Not really; a better analogy is if I'm in Kansas and I want to get to Beijing. I can fly all the way there, or I can take a car/plane/train to a boat to a car/plane/train.
Angular is the airline flight(s), React is the boat. It won't get you all the way there on its own.
If I am trying to compare the pros and cons of flying vs sea travel, a distinction between the fact that a ship is not an airplane isn't really important.
Two vastly different approaches can attempt to solve the same problem, and they're worth considering on equal ground.
On a side note, when people mention working with React, it's safe to assume (if they're building real software) that they are using React with a framework, whether that be some implementation of Flux or Relay or something else entirely. When comparing Angular to React / Flux you've got yourself an apples to apples comparison.
