No, there are a number of workarounds - things that allow
you to request an address mapping directly from the NAT
(UPnP, midcom, RSIP), things that allow you to discover your
address/port number (STUN), various relaying technologies,
and so on. They all have their own problems, but there are
a lot of alternatives to what you've described.
