No, field of view is the maximum angle you can cover if you were to trace the cone of what is inside the frame of the sensor/film plan for a given focal length. Focal length is the distance between the nodal point and the film plan/sensor. The nodal point is the point where the light rays all pass through when crossing towards the sensor. For lenses that have multiple elements you still have the same rules as you use the focal point of all the elements cumulated. There is no curvature of a lens.
