Yes, she is. However, Arrow has taken DC characters and modifed them for their purposes. A quick example is that in the comics, Yao Fei and Shado are not biologically related whereas in the show, they are father and daughter. It is certainly possible the show could go in the direction of turning Felicity into Oracle, although I was unaware of the idea until I read the speculation.
