No. The sun was the cover story used by the JLA for why he survived. The white kryptonite was what really did it.

One of my favorite story lines when I was a kid, I remember thatt it was the white hot yellow sun that killed the virus.

In the follow-on comic issue Superman returns to earth finding that its inhabitants think he was cured and returned. In truth the Justice League was impersonating him so that earth would not think itself defenseless. At least that is what my memory tells me. Long live the Silver Age Superman!

The Great Superman Book confirms this.

To be complete, as Superman’s space coffin was flying towards the sun, the Bizarros threw Kryptonite at the coffin, in general. They threw all sorts of Kryptonite, including the kinds that mutated him, killed him, took away his powers, and the white stuff that did nothing to him but destroyed the plant-stuff that was Virus-X.

As I recall, the Bizarros celebrated Superman’s death by throwing white Kryptonite at his ship as it passed. Since the Virus X was plant-based, and white K kills all plant life, the Virus was killed and Kal recovered nicely.
