Short answer: No.

Long answer: No, but many have a much simpler way to 
achieve a similair result.  Many Forth chips can pack
several instructions into a single word.  That way
one multiple instructions can be fetched at once.
The F21, for instance, can retrieve 4 5 bit
instructions from a single 20 bit word.  Conseptually
this might sound like pipelining or VLIW, but it's
really much simpler.
