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. - Tim
