Uh - no.
Downshifting requires a throttle blip - active rev match does that for you. Throttle blips are adding fuel to the engine, and regardless of coasting or downshifting, the engine will use some fuel.
The truth is that coasting to a stop will likely use less fuel than downshifting to a stop. But it will be so close that the difference is negligible.
