Not necessarily. My car was handling fine, I noticed a pulse in the brake pedal, replaced both rear bearings, I still have the pulse! The wobbling hub wasn't detectable until I took the caliper off, though it did have a dry bearing sound to it when it was spun.
Checking the rear bearings will give you a good opportunity to thoroughly inspect the rear brakes, particularly the parking brake. Sometimes the shoes for the parking brake start coming apart - the bits and pieces might cause a rattle sound.
