Not necessarily. It's really the "scorer's" judgment, which in this case, I do not place much confidence in the AI scorer to get correct:

RULE 10.09 (b):
Score a sacrifice bunt when, before two are out, the fielders handle a bunted ball without error in an unsuccessful attempt to put out a preceding runner advancing one base. EXCEPTION: When an attempt to turn a bunt into a putout of a preceding runner fails, and in the scorer's judgment perfect play would not have put out the batter at first base, the batter shall be credited with a one-base hit and not a sacrifice.

It depends on where the ball was bunted, how good of a bunt it was, and where the ball was thrown to (home or first)...but most likely it is a hit.
