Apparently not, as the Soviets did in fact invade Poland
" At the time the Red Army crossed the Soviet-Polish border, in the early hours of 17 September 1939, the Soviets had concentrated an impressive force"
"The morning of 17 September 1939 saw the Red Air Force launch surprise attacks on the airfields of Dubno, Luck and Kowel, where they claimed 7 fighters and 3 bombers destroyed on the ground. The Polish planes of the Pursuit Brigade, that managed to get off the ground fought back with a vengeance, though, and claimed to have downed two SB-2 bombers as well as 5 I-16 fighters. '
