No, it's not. The document discussed here is a regular handwritten copy of the regular Bible (the Latin translation, Vulgate), and it has been nicknamed Devil's Bible only because among its many illustrations it has one that depicts, you guessed it, the Devil.
As far as the satanic bible by LaVey, I actually had the (dis)pleasure of reading it, and it's just nonsensical. Seriously, I try to be as open minded as I can, but that thing is just a collection of myths/names of gods from different religions, a total mix that is not internally cohesive (which can be said about many sacred texts, but this one takes the prize).
