No, the C64 (and other computers of the time) used a DSUB9 for the joystick connector. Top row 1-5: Up, Down, Left, Right, PaddleB; bottom row 6-9: Fire, +5V, GND, PaddleA. This was the common layout across all systems back then. The DSUB15 analog joystick port was later. And no, it was no serial port, just raw IO pins.
