No. The anime does not follow the manga episode-by-chapter.
The anime also took some content of the manga, adapted them, then shifted them in chronology (i.e the time which the events happened), e.g. the Train incident with Terrorist Bald was actually after Ed became a National Alchemist and was returning from Leore in the manga, in the anime it happened when he was going to Central to become a National Alchemist.
Some scenes were totally changed, e.g. Ed's qualification trial as National Alchemist, the manga's representation was just much way cooler in my book.
And now with the anime diverging heavily from the manga, the main story would not follow the manga though we might find small details being used e.g. Yoki's situation.
