No, it's "like a forcefield." Or rather, at least one aspect of it is like a forcefield. It's also very heavily implied that Pyrrha and Ren's weapons shoot aura, Ren can use his aura to increase his strength, Jaune's aura can heal him, and everyone's aura can act as a "sixth sense."

Semblance isn't necessarily anything, since the word semblance makes sense in context as being a manifestation of aura. I know we're going to be calling it separate unless it's shown otherwise, to be safe, but it's also not safe to assume that aura is purely defensive and none of those things are aura.
