Yes and No.
It is technically one of the symptoms but it can also be caused by things that are not corruption. So infrequently without other symptoms of corruption is probably not due to corruption.
But if you're seeing other symptoms of corruption or you're seeing the squiggly lines frequently, then I would probably say it is a sign of corruption. Especially if you know you've done something that causes corruption.
I wouldn't panic or restart/stop playing a neighborhood until you get symptoms that affect your ability to play. How quickly neighborhoods go from initial corruption event to unplayable is way too variable to get panicked or stop playing a neighborhood over symptoms that don't affect game play. It's a main reason why it took years to get Simmers to accept that things can cause corruption - because many players have gotten bored of a neighborhood they corrupted before the corruption got to the point where it affected their game play.
