Not necessarily.
Take for example The Phantom Of The Opera.
The most important character is without doubt the phantom of the opera, but he is not the protagonist. The protagonists role in this particular story is merely to observe.

If you look at japanese storytelling in anime and manga you will find many more examples of stories with the setting of the protagonist playing the part of observer. (e.g. Akame ga Kill, Inuyasha, Fairytail(At least in the beginning), Bakemonogatari...)
