Not necessarily - you can remap the instrument numbers either in Lilypond
or most synth software.  I did that to use a non-GM organ soundfont with
different instrument numbers for the different stops, in
https://audio.northcoastsynthesis.com/?t=loquat .  But it's
true that using a soundfont with GM numbers will give you one less thing
to think about, if the GM instruments are the ones you want to use.
