No. Attributes such as the core material, differential imbalance, and saturation will result in a drop in the inductance. The problem is that chokes use core materials optimized for attenuating high frequency currents, and therefore have much more losses than power inductors, which are designed for energy storage or filters. In fact, you can use any type of inductor in your DC-DC converter, but you will have some efficiency issues.
