Not likely. That's a data tag for a particular part, not for the whole aircraft and I don't think that there is any cross reference of a part to a particular aircraft but I've been wrong before.
Some here may be able to find out what part is was for given that the number is very clear.

Indeed the german way was to break up the production proces into chunks
Plane would be split up in main construction numbers ig fuselage (rumpf in pic) nr 12, Every item belong to this this wouldd start with Plane number XXX12-XXXX, so for a bf109 fuselage part it would read like 109.12-0400

That would explain the Sach number, but would the werk number not be specific to a given aircraft.
In which case this might to production number 051 328 which was converted to a J-1 Issud to 4/NJG 3. Its fate noted as Emergency landed 3/9/1942 near Vilslev about 7 kilometres northwest of Ribe due to engine failure at approximately 17:00 hours. The aircraft skidded along and broke through two small dikes before Engineer Obergefreiter Adam Gerhardt was thrown out of the aircraft and ended up underneath it when it came to a halt. When the aircraft was moved it was found that Gerhardt was dead. The aircraft was 85% damaged and Haisch and Wop Unteroffizier Erwin Bormann were both lightly injured. However I suspect production should have shifted to E-2 or E-4 by that production number so it is probable that earlier answers were correct.
