I don't think so. Buddhism sees the phenomenal world as a constructional illusion of a greater whole. I think it's close to what Noumena (kantian) is. Correct me if I am wrong.

exactly, that what we see is not everything....they say there are other universes within our universe but not penetrating

they even say that every particle is a universe itself....

They have metaphorical worlds such as heaven and hell. There is also the preta world composed of creatures with enormous stomachs and tiny needle mouths, which represents greed and frustration.
