No, but your OS needs to be configured to use the DNS server on your router. Easiest way to do this is with DHCP + NAT rule to ensure all DNS queries are processed by your router.
Why do I need a NAT rule if the computer uses DHCP?
It's not necessary but it ensures that all DNS queries are processed by your router. It could be that there's software that uses a specific DNS server hardcoded to make sure they can avoid your Pi-hole (or alternative solution) to track you.
