No, the other way round: all serious ama or pro games (at least, that I know of) are played with byo-yomi. In the two-day tournaments the byo-yomi is 1 minute per move, and something like the last 100 moves of the game are usually played in it. The NHK speed go TV tournament is 30 seconds/move (throughout the whole game, but with 10 minutes of extra time they can use when they need to think more about a move).
