Is fugue an opus?

Answer:
A fugue is a musical form. An opus is a musical composition. Therefore a fugue is not an opus, nor is an opus a fugue.

A composer may compose a fugue and give it an opus number. In that case, a specific fugue is identified by a specific opus number in its composer's catalogue:

'Fugue in G minor for organ, opus 99, by Franz Schnitzelgruber.'
