No. ODBC is not married to Windows or Microsoft or dependent on Microsoft drivers. There are several hundred drivers from about 80 vendors. Microsoft provides ODBC for Windows but ODBC for non-Windows platforms comes from other companies.
For more of an explanation of ODBC, JDBC, sources for drivers and so on you can jump to magazine articles by linking from:
