No, Episode of Bardock is a manga spin off that was adapted into a anime OVA where Bardock is sent back in the past on Planet Vegeta over 1000 years ago where he fights Freeza's ancestor Chilled and becomes a SSj for the first time. It was never dubbed as of 2014, but you can find it subbed on Youtube.

Story and artwork was done by Naho Ooishi. Akira Toriyama didn't had anything to do with it other then design Chilled. Episode of Bardock is consider to be a What If scenario. You can say that it's not canon to the anime and manga.

I recorded “A Lonely, Final Battle” on video, and as I watched it over and over as a kid, I would be brought to tears at its regret, and at Freeza’s fearsomeness. So I was just absurdly happy and fired-up to be able to draw a Bardock what-if story! I want Bardock to keep playing a big role in video and card games from here on out!

I view Episode of Bardock in it's own alternate timeline due to the time travel nature that happens in DBZ.
