NO it is not. That's a rather small (lambda wise) Vee antenna as a director, with a dipole active element

It isn't a rhombic's bootlace. More below.
As we might expect it has - roughly - the performance of a two element yagi, dipole (active) and director (passive only) and no reflector.
Whereas a single rhombic with 4 (active) sides of length lambda for a given frequency will have 6db of gain, and if you make it from TV ribbon/ 300 ohm cable it will have 12 db gain. Make it longer and the gain goes up
IF you want to know what a rhombic actually is, email me for the article, or ask the moderators here when/if it will be held here at AA.
You can't buy one, you have to make one, and aim it, yourself.
