Not necessarily. If the front and back PWM controls are swapped on one side, the robot will probably just bounce in place trying to squeeze or stretch itself sideways. If they're swapped on both sides, the robot will probably strafe in the wrong direction, and trying to turn while strafing will be very entertaining.
The first thing to do is make sure the wheels are installed in the proper orientation. The second thing is to make sure the PWM definitions in software match the wiring in hardware. Then you can determine whether or not any of the motor directions need to be inverted.
