Long Answer: No, there is a bedrock version and a java version. Xbox One Edition for minecraft is an old version that has stopped updating a bit a ago I think. You used to be able to get it for free but its no longer an offer.

Minecraft: Xbox One Edition was officially released on September 5, 2014.
