No, she didn't. If you like on the official WBC page, you can see that she was stripped of her interim title because of not wanting to fight full champ Oliveras in October, and that the bout was a WBA eliminator. But even if it wasn't on the WBC page, it was a WBA eliminator, I'm sure!

Here it is, under "Press releases":

Jackie Nava will not go for the Title


PRESS RELEASE – SEPTEMBER 3rd, 2008.

The World Boxing Council has been officially notified by Mr. Guillermo Brito that the Superbantamweight interim world champion, Jackie Nava, from Mexico, has decided not to take part in the mandatory fight against the champion of the division, Alejandra Oliveras, from Argentina, a bout that was scheduled to be promoted in October by Box Latino, which obtained the rights to promote such bout with a bid of $34,000 dollars.



Our President, Jose Sulaiman, has expressed his great sorrow regarding this situation, as Jackie Nava was the first WBC female champion and has been an icon of female boxing in our organization, and he deeply regrets that her managers have decided to have her fight in an elimination fight for the WBA, being a degradation to the level of the great champion Jackie Nava, who never had to go through an “elimination” fight in our organization.



The World Boxing Council wishes Jackie Nava the best of lucks, and wants to let her know that she will always have a very special place in this organization.
