Yes, that is what I’m saying.
There may be other 3rd party plugins that alter this.
There are ways to generically add some fields to the front end of the site that the developer may have used https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/get_fields/.
But as a general rule, ACF fields are only shown if the template is modified to show them or some other tool for altering templates is used.
