No, it is not click to focus, or rather, the menu click is the focus action. You can overlay an Explorer and Notepad window, for example, and with Explorer in the foreground, click on the File menu in Notepad which brings Notepad forward as well as display the File menu items.

Plus, your mouse travel is far less to get from the app (since it's part of the app) to the menu.
