Not really, at least at that time. What we now refer to as karate was created on Okinawa, a small set of islands between China and Japan. It was created combining Okinawa fighting techniques with Chinese Kung Fu. It went to Japan in the 1920's when Gichin Funakoshi went there and demonstrated and then taught it. Since then, Okinawa has become a part of Japan.

No, Japan did not invent Taekwondo. Taekwondo was created by Koreans; although, they were heavily influenced by the long Japanese occupation of Korea.
