No, currently we are proteins suspended in water, surrounded by an extended phenotype composed of plastics, refined/alloyed metals, ceramics and other materials rarely found in nature. Stardust happens later.

But aren't a lot of those things made in stars? Metals and carbon for instance...
 
But sometimes dust forms clumps, you said dust... not just vast colossal clouds of drifty dust. Dust on rocks like this place count too right?

If you want to stretch to metaphor, maybe. I was being a bit more literal. Even if us humans avoid simple extinction and end up leaving evolutionary descendants or transcending or whatever, it is likely that a large proportion of the physicality of what was once the human species will end up adrift in the interstellar depths given sufficient time.

No doubt. Not that we aren't adrift in the interstellar depths now, just also attached to a clump of stuff falling around a star. But it's still "interstellar" because the star we're falling around is intertween other stars, so there.

True enough. But perspective matters. Interstellar dust doesn't have to worry about where its next meal is coming from.
