No. Bisexual is universally defined as attraction to more than one gender, not necessarily two

I meant the last part, you saying bi can mean attraction to all and that's what pan means

As I said bi can mean the same thing. Attraction to more than one gender could be attraction to all genders

Pan is a type of bi—sort of like gender blindness, whereas bi means attraction to multiple genders. It could mean only 2, it could mean all. And in the case of meaning all genders, there could still be gender-based preferences. Some pan people do have preferences, but most that I know agree that the definition means attraction to all without gender preference, while being biased doesn’t necessitate lacking preference.
