I don't think so.
I think that for visual programming you mean drag & drop controls (buttons, tables, input text, etc) to a canvas that will be show to the user as a classical desktop app.
Smalltalk is not that (although you can do application with buttons and all that) but much more. Isn't just only an IDE like Eclipse, VisualStudio or Netbeans. It's a whole world of living objects and you can modify them on the fly.
Well by following the tutorials you'll understand this.

That's good to hear - so I am wondering would people here place Squeak in a category of Visual Programming Languages (visual like Visual Basic)?

Welcome, I am 14, and I just started with Smalltalk and Squeak, and I personally feel that it is easier to use and understand, once you get a basic understanding of how everything works.  I have only really written software in Java, and I have played around with C++ a bit, but Smalltalk is my favorite language at the moment, and probably will be for quite some time!

Cool, thanks for the correction. I realized right away it was different.  Thanks for explaining.

The object semantics are indeed similar. However, in Squeak you're
interacting with live objects directly, rather than having them
recreated from dead code all the time. That's a huge difference once
you make the mind shift.

And, btw, it's "Smalltalk" with a lowercase t.
