Not really, and this is because of internal sandhi and r coming before s which causes a retroflex change in both sounds. This means that r transforms into the retroflex approximant "ɻ" which is eventually dropped and s into the voiceless retroflex fricative "ʂ".
Therefore, the correct IPA pronunciation is /nɔʂk/

å is pronounced as /ɔː/
while norsk is pronounced as /nɔʂk/
.
Notice the difference in length of the open-mid back rounded vowel denoted with a colon.
P.S. There is a duplicate of your question.
