Initially? no, no more than Australia, USA, or Canada was independent when first colonized. Over time Mars may become independent, or perhaps autonomous, or even part of some sort of solar system federation with Earth as an equal partner. Only time will tell.

Might be wishful thinking, but I sincerely hope it's never colonised by earth based governments. Even the smaller ones have large enough cartels as it is.
