No. Google has let AOSP die in the vine. It's nearly impossible to properly run Android without the play store. Most OEMs develop a lot in house to combat the rot that's occurred in the open source components.

Yes the new kernel is open source; it's the play store and perhaps other bits of the full OS they'll hang on to.
