In case of hypervisors which do not (fully) support remote management, yes.

This is the case for Xen for example. I guess things like qemu, KVM,
VBox and the like are similar.

ESX for example can be managed completely over the network via a SOAP
API so there is no need for a libvirtd on the hypervisor side.
