No it is not owned by Ethereum. In fact nothing is "owned" by Ethereum. It's all open source. Tools like Etherscan, myetherwallet, Metamask have been developed by passionate developers who believe in ETH. Between, why do you ask this question?
Most likely Etherscan does not belong to Ethereum, as this information is not indicated anywhere. But maybe they actively cooperate and hide it very skillfully.
Though the information is not indicated anywhere that the team have something in common but the cordination between the two projects makes me assume that they are related.

If you go to the About page of etherscan you'll see some names and photos.
Since Vitalik's name and image is not there, I'd assume that etherscan is not "owned by Ethereum" Foundation.
