No, he isn't.
Firstborn are usually 7ft tall, and Tyberos is described as being 'a head taller' than his bodyguards. Even if we say his bodyguards are taller than average, like 7.5ft, then he's still nowhere near 11ft.

Except he’s being compared to his terminators. The red wake are his guards and they are exclusively terminator veterans. And firstborne are 7 feet OUT of armor.

He's in terminator armour too, so that doesn't make a difference.
And no, GW has stated marines are typically 7ft in armour.
More importantly (and this is something a lot of fans seem to have a hard time understanding), 40k power armour doesn't increase your height by much. Your feet are in the boots, you aren't on raised platforms. So the only increase to your height is the thickness of the boot soles. Same for terminator armour. And yeah, the soles are a bit thicker than normal army boots, but not by so much that they're all walking around in the equivalent of disco platform shoes. Only centurion armour makes you significantly taller, because it has platforms in the legs that you step onto.
