No. Various cuts of beef can be successfully roasted. Opinions may vary from chef to chef, but here's something from a website I found.

For the best types of roasts for roasting, look for one of the following:

Top Round Roast (AKA Inside Round) – this cut of beef is similar to the top sirloin in fat and flavor and is the most common cut used for roast beef.
Top Sirloin Roast (AKA Top ****) – this cut is lean and full of flavor with a little bit of marbling.
Bottom Round Roast (AKA Rolled Rump Roast) – this cut is a good budget cut and has more marbling than the Top Round.
Eye Of Round Roast – this is a circular cut that is very lean so needs to be very thinly sliced when roasted.

This website has slightly different recommendations.

Regardless of which cut of beef you roast, the final result is still going to be called "roast beef".
