Maybe sort of, although Athens would be a better example of institutionalized pedestary. I think Spartans were mostly just "gay", and mostly informally, although I can't speak from certainty.
Sparta highly valued virginity in there women, gave the father a better selling price. So they encouraged homosexuality among there boys as a way of ensuring they get sexual release without getting their head chopped off by an irate father who just had his daughter go from valuable virgin to worthless slut.
