Not necessarily, an end of train device, or FRED, can be used in lieu of a caboose:

hmmm, no caboose for me since my era is modern 1998-Current.

However, the FRED device looks interesting. I've never seen anybody run them on their layouts. I'll have to look into see if anybody makes these.

Caboose has them just above their HO loco display... or at least did at one point in time
