Uhhh, no.  In fact not all EVA foam is necessarily crosslinked nor is it PE.

The polymer reference materials that I frequently use list the common 
materials for closed cell foams separately 
PE, EVA,PS, PVC, PP, PPO, PU, etc.

PE is foam made from Polyethylene.  EVA is an Ethylene-vinyl acetate 
copolymer.  Different thermoplastics but both used separately to make 
foams and together in blends).
