No, most lenses aren't produced by the same lens company.
Most of the big name frames are produced by one of a few large frame manufacturers such as luxotica and safilo. Some designers choose to not license their stuff and produce their own lines. Companies like Maui Jim pride themselves their lens quality. Most of the large manufactures also have a corresponding lens company which makes their own lenses.
