Not exactly. An 'unclassified' is a road to connect some neighborhoods or towns. It should be a connection between roads of a higher class (tertiary, secondary) but often used only by locals. It could be found in the rural and urban area. A 'residential' is a road only with originating traffic (people living there, delivering service, ...). Nobody who wants to drive from town A to town C, will use a residential road in town B. You will find residential roads in residental, commercial or industrial areas.
