No, you would be exempt from the Individual Responsibility payment if you had a short gap in coverage (less than three months).
"In general, a gap in coverage that lasts less than three months qualifies as a short coverage gap. If you have more than one short coverage gap during a year, the short coverage gap exemption only applies to the first gap.If you have a coverage gap of 3 months or more, you are not exempt for any of those months."
