It kind-of is. There has to be some kind of digital local oscillator in
the electronics following the ADC which is used to heterodyne the signal
down to baseband or a lower-frequency "IF". True, it's all done with
ones and zeros but it performs the same function as an analog local
oscillator and mixer.
