No, it means you are on a phone call, using the microphone so the person at the other end of the call can hear you.

Why are my phone calls being recorded? Whenever I place a call, an orange dot appears. Isn’t that an invasion of privacy? It’s my phone shouldn’t I be able to control my microphone? Just Asking.
