For sure, no. It's a S905X5M https://www.hardkernel.com/shop/odroid-c5/

The C4 is a S905X3

Is an Armbian image for the C5 planned for the future?

There is certainly nothing planned.  In general most of the open source community has moved away from working on amlogic based devices as the support from amlogic if lacking (and given the arm cpu space where all arm cpu vendors don't really support main line linux very much, amlogic is significantly even less supportive).  So these days around armbian in particular most developers choose to invest there volunteer time in Rockchip cpus (and more recently some in allwinner cpus).

 

But this is open source and community driven.  So anyone is welcome to pitch in and do the heavy lifting to support it if they want.  That is how most boards get support, is that someone with an interest volunteers to do the work.
