No. 2K or 4K refer to the approximate horizontal resolutions. 2K = 2048 pixels, 4K = 4096 pixels...
1080p refers to the vertical resolution.

This will help the folks that have many questions:

720×480 : D-VHS, DVD, miniDV, Digital8, Digital Betacam
720×480 : Widescreen DVD (anamorphic)
1280×720 : D-VHS, HD DVD, Blu-ray, HDV (miniDV)
1440×1080 : HDV (miniDV)
1920×1080 : HDV (miniDV), AVCHD, HD DVD, Blu-ray, HDCAM SR
1998x1080 : 2K Flat (1.85:1)
2048×1080 : 2K Digital Cinema
4096×2160 : 4K Digital Cinema
7680×4320 : UHDTV (8K)
15360x8640 : 16K Digital Cinema

4K is about the same as 35mm film and 8K is about the same as 65/70mm film.
