It was not. Tiny Tim was a rocket, which flew in a relatively horizontal trajectory. It's engine was fired during initial part of it's route.
Whilst BETAB DS was a bomb, which used to fall vertically, like any other bomb. It's rocket engine was used to accelerate the bomb on the final part of it's route to target, in order to give it more penetration power. According to some sources, it's velocity upon impact was about 3M.
