Is it pronounced the same way as 'Oh my God?'

Yes, but it's spelt OMG. I've never seen it written like that.

Actually, "omigod" IS pronounced with a short I and replicates the reduction that happens when you condense it all into one word (it's a sort of slangy term). OMG stands for oh my god, which would give the full long I sound to "my". They aren't the same thing.
