No.  This code produces one small and one big 
button here, using Java 1.6.

<sscce>
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;

class ButtonMargin {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    JPanel p = new JPanel();

    JButton btn1 = new JButton("button 1");
    p.add(btn1);

    JButton btn2 = new JButton("button 2");
    Insets insets = new Insets(100,100,100,100);
    btn2.setMargin(insets);
    p.add(btn2);

    p.validate();

    JOptionPane.showMessageDialog( null, p );
  }
}
</sscce>

The layouts being used in the code that fails?
