No, REV32 has SF=1. The two operations are different:

 REV <Wd>, <Wn> -- swaps byte order of the bottom 32 bits
                   (zeroes the top half of Xd, as usual for Wn ops)
 REV32 <Xd>, <Xn> -- swaps byte order of bottom 32 bits and
                     also swaps byte order of top 32 bits
                     (ie it is a 64-bit to 64-bit operation
                      which does does two bswap32()s)
