No it’s not (at least not in FOP 0.95). You have to download the
separate fop-hyph.jar.

You should have got the following warning when running FOP on the
command line: “Couldn't find hyphenation pattern en”. If not and you’re
still not happy with the hyphenation, please attach the PDF and describe
what is wrong.

At any rate, with your FO file I get a properly hyphenated PDF.
