I'm not a canon lawyer, but I believe the answer is no. For example, if she wasn't married, she could still approach the Church for marriage. If this was an excommunication, it would be explicit.

I have seen nothing to suggest that she has, merely that she is not to receive the Eucharist in the Archdiocese of San Francisco and Diocese of Santa Rosa. In this week's podcast, Mr. Flynn and Dr. Condon note that a juridical process has not been accomplished, just the imposition of sacramental discipline.
