No these are not the 4 beasts.

They are

1.  The lion:  Babylonian empire
2.  The bear:  The Persian empire  (the three ribs symbolized Cyrus, 
Achashverosh, and Darius - Rashi)
3.  The leopard:  The Greek empire  (the four heads allude to the 
four generals who divided the empire after Alexander's death - 
Abarbanel)
4.  The Roman empire, considered to be the current exile.
