Absolutely not. Basically, if you build your site right, it will be indexed automatically by most search engines. You can also submit your site manually to each search engine. The key is to have good keyword content. How high your site will rank for a given search term can depend on many factors: How many competing sites are brought up from that term?, if it is a high value term?, do other sites pay for placement under that term?, etc...
It's a good idea to put a hit counter on your site (there are free ones like statcounter.com) that will tell you how people are finding your site. This will show what terms they typed in at what search engine to draw up your site. This will give you an idea of where to consentrate your efforts.
