No.  Planets can orbit either or both stars, so long as their orbital
distances aren't too similar to the separation of the stars (e.g. a
factor of about 3-5 depending on conditions).  There are stable orbits
closer in ratio than that, but they are both less likely to form, and
to not be perturbed out by other influences over the life of the star
system.
