No, it was never officially a part of the Soviet Union.

After Mongolia broke away from China in the 1910's, China tried to retake it. A Russian anti-communist army invaded around 1920 and defeated the Chinese; then the Soviets organized a Mongolian communist revolt, which was eventually successful. When the Japanese invaded Mongolia in 1939, the Soviets defeated the Japanese army at the famous battle of Khalkhin Gol.

So Mongolia and the USSR were very close allies and Soviet policies tended to be copied in Mongolia right up until the breakup of the Soviet Union in the early 1990's- Mongolia's communist government also broke up around that same time.
