Maybe.  Is the flooring narrow strips (and if there was a direction
change around the perimeter that would be a clue) or is it wide
planks, is there anyplace that you can get a peek up thru the ceiling
below to see if from undernetah the boards seem to run in a different
direction.
Sometimes a diagonal subfloor was installed, and then a final floor
layer of wider boards that were meant to be carpeted over.  Or an
actual finish floor of the narower strips, which can also have
deorative patterning.  Depends on their original budget.
