Yes that is a baptismal font! Rorate Caeli says;
A metal globe on a metal olive tree lookalike on a rock shipped from the river Jordan. It was designed by Father Salvatore Vitiello, professor at the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart and at the Lateran University, and head of the M.A. program in "Architecture, Sacred Art, and Liturgy" of the Pontifical Athenaeum Regina Apostolorum.
