Yes - from Wiki:

"Due to a poorly received test screening, David Ellison, a financier and producer at Paramount, became concerned that the film was "too intellectual" and "too complicated", and demanded changes to make it appeal to a wider audience, including making Portman's character more sympathetic, and changing the ending. Producer Scott Rudin sided with the director, who did not want to alter the film. Rudin, who had final cut privilege, defended the film and refused to take notes from Ellison.[4]

On December 7, 2017, it was announced that due to the clashes between Rudin and Ellison, and the shift in Paramount's leadership, a deal was struck allowing Netflix to distribute the film internationally. According to this deal, Paramount will handle the American, Canadian and Chinese release, while Netflix will begin streaming the film in other territories 17 days later.[4]

Garland expressed his disappointment with the decision:"

So not a Netflix original.

What I think they trying to say is that it isn't a Netflix original in that they financed the production themselves. They just bought exclusivce distribution rights.
