not in my experience -- i begin almost every .tex file i write with
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{times}
\usepackage{geometry}
\geometry{tmargin=1in,bmargin=1in}
\title{TITLE}
\author{Nori Heikkinen}
\begin{document}
\thispagestyle{empty}
\maketitle
so \thispagestyle{empty} is before any text actually occurs ...
but that *is* weird that the first page needs a specific call to be
empty -- i guess i just always use numbers, except on the first page,
so it made sense to me.
