No it couldn't; it's CP1250. See (for example) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_code_page#List

The likeliest candidate is what TeXShop calls "IsoLatin"; this might mean ISO-8859-1, or it might actually refer to CP1252; the two labels are sometimes used rather carelessly. IIRC, the encodings are identical except that CP1252 adds some printable characters (e.g., the curly quotes, em- and en-dashes, Euro, etc.) in the upper control code region (0x80-9F).
