Not quite. As I understand Penrose he only claims quantum mechanics is a reasonable place to look for an explanation of consciousness. He doesn't propose that QM is the explanation. In other words, he believes consciousness is not computable and uses QM to fight against the argument that "the universe is computable, consciousness is a part of the universe, therefore consciousness is computable".
