No it’s not :-)
ImageFormat is a package providing analysis of all Smalltalk images that descend from the Back To The Future Squeak 1.0 image, which includes Squeak, Pharo, Cuis,  Croquet, Qwaq/Teleplace/Terf, and Newspeak.
It is written by our own David Lewis and lives in the VMMaker repository on source.squeak.org.
If you build a VMMaker image I *think* it should be included.  It’s in my image.
