Yes.

However, it's just a shell script (I'll append mine below), and you
can make it an empty executable file if you like.
It is used twice:
(1) when you use olwm's `save workspace' menu, it is written out,
    containing a ine for each X client that was running and tht had
    registered a startup command line with the X property manager;
(2) it's read on startup to get those utilities running that were there
    when you last did Save Workspace.

If you edit .xinitrc instead, you don't need .openwin-init, so just make
it an empty file.  Make it executable (chmod +x .openwin-init), though.
