Yes, that's right.

PHP is using FreeTDS's ODBC driver and the Driver Manager, unixODBC,
can't find the server. It looks like your odbc.ini isn't correct. If
so, isql won't work either.

In case it matters, you might not need ODBC. There is a PHP mssql
extension that works with FreeTDS and does not use ODBC. (It uses
db-lib.)

HTH.
