Not at all. Even not for 32-bit machines. Not only because
the hashCode() usually uses less than 32 bits. But also for
other reasons, namely the internal algorithm how the
hash is produced (although the below bug doesn't reveal
much internals):

http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6321873

But in the bottom of the above bug you can find code that
searches for a clash. It can take quite a while, but
it is not excluded. This is what a sample run produced
according to the bug:

62028120: java.lang.Object@9cab16 - java.lang.Object@9cab16

So the 62028120-th new Object produced the same hashcode.

So
