No, as far as I know, this was the original version of the pilot.
Some changes were made between when this was made and the series
debuted, so this was edited down, a few things reshot, and it was
aired as a regular 1-hour episode.

What I meant above was that I suspect that some of the backstory
footage was cut from this for the shorter version of this story,
but instead of just being thrown away, it was used in other
episodes.

It's analogous to the original LOST IN SPACE pilot, where the
individual sequences were fleshed out into several different
episodes.
