No. I have successfully downloaded files with DHT in the past that weren't available via tracker anymore or the tracker didn't respond (and where the P2P sites showed "0/0 seeders/leechers). The file just needs to have "some" distribution, so it eventually gets found in the DHT client cloud. If you mean that in general, yes, there have to be a few clients initially that can connect to a tracker because finding that one client that starts the seeding without a tracker may take a long time or fail.
