Not necessarily.  I would make one large LVM volume group (VG) for
pretty much the entire disk space then for each VM create a logical
volume (LV) that is as big as you think you will need, but it doesn't
need to be too big, it is easy to grow the LV later on if you need to.
As I said before, make sure you leave some free space on the VG for
snapshots.
