Not necessarily. We never actually see him use it then.

I think I should clarify my last post and say that Tobi was just a name that Obito chose for his new identity. All previous incarnations of "Tobi" should actually be referred to as the "masked man."

Like you said, you can see the previous masked man was exceptionally tall and had long hair. Both traits of Madara. Same posture too.

Madara knew how to control the 9 tails and probably taught it to Obito...who then used it to attack the village.
