From my understanding of the term, probably not.
The West used to refer to the non-communist developed countries of the world and included Western Europe, Canada, Japan and the US essentially. The Communist countries were the East. The developing, non-communist countries were labeled the third world.
Several countries may be either Western or on the fence between third world and western based on how "developed" they are and what standards are used to determine that.
