Not at all. "G1" is everything that happened between 1984 and 1991. This includes the toyline (Japanese and US), cartoon (Japanese and US), animated movie, and comicbooks (UK and US).
Generation 2 is the subtitle for a toyline and comicbook that existed between 1993 and 1995.
There's some blurring in the UK, as G1 never ended the way it did in the US, and some of the "Late G1" toys over there got G2 repackages (And some even got released over here as proper G2, like Rapido, and the Aquaspeeders)
But Galvatron, Rodimus... they're still technically early G1, being introduced in the third year (And technically, they're among the first "true" transformers. They're some of the very first toys ever made specifically for Transformers)
