No. This is not a requirement. The only requirement is that the router must create a LAN IP subnet that is different from the WAN IP address subnet. So, if the ISP has given the Orbi router an address in the 192.168.0.x subnet, then the LAN subnet can be anything besides 192.168.0.x The most common IP subnet is 192.168.1.x.
This is the reason why Orbi routers sometimes create a LAN subnet of 10.0.0.1. If the ISP has assigned a 192.168.1.x address to the Orbi router, then it cannot use the same IP subnet on the LAN side.

If the ISP router has created a LAN IP subnet of 192.168.0.x and you want devices connected to the Orbi to be in that subnet, the putting the Orbi into Access Point (AP) mode is the solution.
