  Nope. They are only surfaces.
  They are solid when interacting with fog and media, but that's all.

  A simple test: Move the camera inside an object. Is it solid?

  Btw, media is one exception where an "object" is not a surface, but more
or less solid. However, media is seldom considered an object.
