I looked up your bike and based on the frameset/component quality and time period being well after 1984 when they switched I would guess that that would be a no.

I believe they only built their carbon bikes and maybe some aluminum here, because Cr-Mo/Hi-Ten bikes were just too cost-prohibitive to make here. My 80's Raleigh had a similar thing on it, where they were trying to sell them as "US Made" bikes that actually came from Taiwan. :/

All together Trek's a good brand and the bikes they sold were sturdy and well above the quality of most other brands. It was still a good choice then and is still a good choice. Hell there are many great Taiwan-built bikes by made by many other brands now.
