At least not in my book it isn't.
http://www.marvunapp.com/list/appalte.htm#Omniverse
* A Universe is a single dimension reality, such as Earth-616, the mainstream Marvel Universe.
Uni - "one"
* The Multiverse is the collection of alternate dimensions with a similar nature and universal hierarchy. Earth-616, pretty much all of the What if? worlds, and the vast bulk of the alternate Earths seen in the MU (which include beings like the Watcher, Eternity, etc) are within the same Multiverse. The myriad realms of Earth-616's Multiverse are overseen by the Living Tribunal. Those realms that lack this hierarchy of power are outside of the Multiverse, but within the larger Omniverse.
Multi - "many"
* The Omniverse is the collection of every single universe, dimension, etc. This includes the real world (right outside of your window--get out of your parent's basements and check it out!!), but it also includes every single universe, realm, etc., every mentioned in any of Marvel Comics, as well as those from DC, Image, Dark Horse, etc. It includes every single literary, television show, movie, urban legend, whatever universe/realm ever. It includes everyone from Popeye to Rocky Balboa to Ronald Reagan to Romeo and Juliet to Luke Skywalker to Snoopy to Jay and Silent Bob, etc.
EVERYTHING is in the Omniverse, and there is only one Omniverse. Period. The End.
Omni - "all"
* The above classification system was devised (at least in part) by Mark Gruenwald. However, it does seem to be missing one element. We have coined the term Megaverse to include realms associated with a particular line of comics, etc., but outside of the Multiverse. This would include such realms as the New Universe, Earth-Shadowline, etc. These realms lack the cosmic beings of the mainstream Multiverse, yet they are still more closely tied to other Marvel Universes than those of other comic lines (such as DC). Thus they are included within the Marvel Megaverse.
Mega - "big" (used to imply a larger grouping than the Multiverse).

That being said while no one company can hold claim to THE Omniverse it logically would include all those things. I don't think for instance that the Living Tribunal has dominion over DC but I do believe that (if there was a true Omniverse) the Presence and TOAA would be the same being.
So I think it would be best if companies stopped using the term altogether.

Personally when either company uses the term omniverse...
I take it as a megaverse comment...
The only exception I can think of is the marvel vs dc comics... Yes yes I know not canon to many of you..
Where one brother suddenly realized the other existed and it appeared that the brothers represented the entire multiverse or megaverse of each... Though now the brothers are guardians to each megaverse...
But that each brother is now a megaverse guardian leads me to dc or marvel being megaverses part of the larger omniverse...
On a side note. Wwdc is June 7. Anyone else as excited as me for the new iPhone? :-)

given that the author of that page/site gave Gruenwald partial credit, Im inclined to think its not wholly Marvel/Disney Ent. -idea, but an extrapolated mix......which, as far as Im concerned, renders it inapplicable since its been modified.
like the Marvel definition of an omniverse would synch-up to the DC version of it like that anyways......
