Not exactly. Ordan was digitalised against his will, brainwashed and became a Cephalon as punishment for rebelling against the Orokin while the Dax was turned into Umbra (in the guise of treating his injuries) because he knew too much.

They do share the part where Ballas was responsible for both transformations though the reasons and result differ.
