No. You'd need to use Skype. Which is fine as it's free.

I don't think Android has a Video Calling feature that isn't through an app like Skype?

Facetime was always designed to be an Apple to Apple service. Skype is your solution. It's no hardship downloading it.

According to Wiki....
Video calling
Android does not support native video calling, but some handsets have a customized version of the operating system that supports it, either via the UMTS network (like the Samsung Galaxy S) or over IP. Video calling through Google Talk is available in Android 2.3.4 and later. Gingerbread allows Nexus S to place Internet calls with a SIP account. This allows for enhanced VoIP dialing to other SIP accounts and even phone numbers. Skype 2.1 offers video calling in Android 2.3, including front camera support. Users with the Google+ android app can video chat with other google+ users through hangouts.
