In a word, yes.

"This startup disk will not work on this Macintosh model.  Use the  
latest installer to update this disk for this model.  (System 7.0.1  
does not work on this model; you need a new version that does.)"

As newer models of hardware came out, they cannot boot on previous  
versions of the Mac software; a new version of system software had to  
be generated to support the new hardware.  This has been true for all  
software releases of the Mac until Sys 7.1.  The following is from  
their announcement of the release of Sys 7.1.

===================================================================== 
=======

CUPERTINO, California--October 19, 1992--Apple Computer, Inc. today
announced it is shipping Version 7.1 of the widely acclaimed System 7
...

    Modular Support for New Macintosh Computers--System 7.1  
incorporates
a new method for supporting new models of Macintosh computers.  Until  
now,
Apple has modified the system software each time it has released a  
new
Macintosh model.  Beginning with System 7.1, Apple will ship each new
computer system with a drop-in software module that enables the  
currently
shipping version of the operating system to automatically support  
that new
Macintosh computer.  Thus, customers and developers will no longer  
have to
worry about testing and upgrading to a new version of the operating  
system
every time Apple introduces a new Macintosh computer.  These software
modules, called "system enablers," will be subsequently rolled into  
the
core operating system with the next major release.

I only speak for myself.
