Welcome Pedgboy,
No, I don't believe they are in any way connected to FAW. But they were affiliated with Harbin Hafei before ceasing production in 2003. Anhui Anchi is a little automaker at the very bottom of the pile. Now it is said that they are back in production since 2008 after being revived by Zhejiang Zhongneng. As for their pickups, I don't know about the Z7 specifically but I think they did produce a small number of Isuzu knockoffs.
The bottom line I guess is that any Anchi pickup is a far cry from those of the domestic leader Great Wall.
