The Crystal Skull is the 'MacGuffin' in this movie and while not directly giving up the goods, the ideas floating about from the Vanity Fair article is think "Area 51". So yes, the crystal skull maybe an alien artifact. Stargate focused on this in one episode

First MacGuffin was the Ark of the Covenant
Second was the stones
Third was the Holy Grail

Spielberg and Lucas talked about how they exhausted the MacGuffin in the first 3. Thus the huge span of time between 3 & 4. But when Lucas was doing the Young Indiana Jones, he came up with this 4th installment.
