Unless things have changed, yes.
Things have changed (smile). Now it's not only for SMS-managed data sets:
In z/OS V1.11, DFSMSdfp processing is changed to indicate end-of-file
(EOF) during the allocation of data sets on DASD that are not
SMS-managed and have either sequential or an undefined data set
organization. This makes this processing for both SMS-managed and
non-SMS-managed data sets consistent, to make it unnecessary to open
data sets solely to indicate EOF, and to help prevent programs from
reading old data when a data set is read immediately after being allocated.
