Not to my knowledge.  There are no "actual files" being backed up.
Instead you're getting a datastream or streams from RMAN.  I see no
reason that some sort of index information couldn't be given to them
that would appear in networker, but since they wouldn't aid recovery I
don't suppose anyone thought it would be useful.  Just a guess.
