No it is not a motion sensor.To answer your question, if this is the same or similar to Popular Electronics circuit I mentioned earlier, the output speaker sets up an ultrasonic field, which the input speaker and circuit receives. Note the two diodes in front of the op amp, this is a AM detector. If something moves in this U/S field the U/S frequency is dopplered, which means frequencies slightly above and below the U/S carrier are formed, which means the diodes will have a very low frequency (around 1Hz, give or take, depending on the speed the object is moving) feed into the op amp. This will in turn trigger the relay activating an alarm.
In other words, it is a simple motion sensor.
The rectified ultrasonic signal is filtered to produce DC which is amplified to turn on the relay when ultrasonics is received.
A motion detector uses a second AM detector diode to demodulate the additions and cancellations of a reflected ultrasonic beam that is modulated by motion.
Here is an ultrasonic motion detector project:
