No. By default, Emacs just loads ~/.emacs.d/init.el /or/ ~/.emacs.

Everything else can be arranged from there. For example, to split
out the custom.el file (where customize writes its stuff), I have
those two lines in my ~/.emacs.d/init.el:

  (setq custom-file "~/.emacs.d/custom.el")
  (load custom-file)

Then, I have a subdirectory of ~/.emacs.d (concretely: ~/.emacs.d/lisp)
where I keep all my local little things I make myself. To be able to
easily load those without always naming the full path, I have in my
~/.emacs.d/init.el:

  (add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/lisp")

And so on.

Still I propose you start with an empty init file. Once you find a
thing you /want/ your Emacs to do always at start, you can start
populating your ~/.emacs or ~/.emacs.d/init.el (each approach has
some up- and downsides, but that's not so important: you'll find
out and you'll be able to switch easily).
