Close, but not exactly. Good cages will have more balls and closer together than cheaper caged bearings, however, the point of the cage is keeping the balls from touching each other (because the cage is softer than the balls), so must be fewer balls; Otherwise, remove the cage and all the balls coming together will leave a gap larger than one bearing.
