No,
"CBP" needs to be contained in a label element that is programmatically bound to the input.
<input type="checkbox" id="ch1a" name="whatever" class=...> <label for="ch1a">CPB</label>
Nothing in the title of the div provides any semantic meaning to the AT. I am not even aware of any screen reader AT that will read the titles in divs.

Subject: [WebAIM] Section 508 - Form Field Label
Below is (simplified) code where TITLE is an attribute of a DIV that contains a form field. Is this an acceptable way to label a form field for Section 508 Compliance?
<div *title='CBP'>*
*<input type='checkbox' igchk='1' class='igt_align'>*<span igtxt='1' class="
">CBP</span></div>
