No this is not called golden bamboo. The most common one is Phyllostachys aurea.

Aurea stands for golden.

Both Madhuri ji and Pankaj ji are right

The name Golden bamboo conventionally goes with Phyllostachys aurea, but according to "Multilingual dictionary of Economic Plants" by S. Rehm, it also applies to B. vulgaris (other common name: common bamboo). Other common name for Phyllostachys aurea is fish-pole bamboo.

... if not mistaken, only for information as well as validation -- Nayan ji's posted bamboo is a cultivar of Bambusa vulgaris.
The "stem" shows variegation for ornamental value.
