No, Manila hemp, also known as manilla, is a type of fiber obtained from the leaves of the abacá (Musa textilis), a relative of the banana. It is mostly used to make ropes and it is the most durable of the natural fibers. Other uses for manila fiber are coarse fabric and paper, including Manila envelopes and Manila papers.
It is not really a hemp, but named so because hemp was for centuries a major source for fiber, so other fibers were sometimes named after it. The name refers to the capital of the Philippines. The country is one of the main areas of cultivation of abacá.

It is a color (manila)
The manila folder is a holder designed to contain documents and paperwork. It is generally formed by folding a large sheet of stiff card in half. Though traditionally beige, sometimes other colours are used to differentiate categories of files.
The manila component of the name comes from manila hemp or abacá, from which manila folders were originally made. Manila hemp is a type of fiber that comes from a relative of the banana plant. Commonly used for ropes, paper products, and coarse fabrics, manila hemp is indigenous to the Philippines and gets its name from the country's capital.

I can see how you've linked Manila to crayons.
Manila (with one L) is a type of paper commonly used for children's art works at preschool or primary school.
"Manila paper is a type of paper originally made from Manila hemp. It is beige in color and the fibers are usually visible to the naked eye. Because manila paper is generally inexpensive, it is commonly given to children for making child art."
It is used sparingly when children begin using crayons.
