No:

\catcode`\{=1
\catcode`\}=2
\pdfoutput=1
\pdfobjcompresslevel=0
\pdfpagewidth=0bp
\pdfpageheight=0bp
\shipout\hbox{}
\pdfpagewidth=100bp
\shipout\hbox{}
\pdfpagewidth=0bp
\pdfpageheight=100bp
\shipout\hbox{}
\end

$ pdftex --ini test
$ grep -a MediaBox test.pdf
/MediaBox [0 0 144 144]
/MediaBox [0 0 100 144]
/MediaBox [0 0 144 100]
