No. According to the GM tech bulletin the orange wire you're seeing is for the Center High Mount Stop Lamp (CHMSL) on the rear cab of your truck. This wire is not used when installing a trailer brake controller like the Tekonsha Voyager Trailer Brake Controller # 39510.
I've linked the instruction video for the Voyager on a similar Chevy Silverado for you to have a look at and help you with the installation process.
