No. From an interview with his assistant at the time, Jerry Schilling:
One of those funny things happens when Nixon proudly shows off the moon rock that he says Buzz Aldrin sent him, and Elvis says, "Oh yeah, Buzz sent me one too." Did Elvis really have a moon rock?
No. [laughs] Would he tell Nixon that he did? Maybe.
