No, this isn't the case. Each net device has multiple peers. Check out
the example config on the website, pasted here for convenience:

If that file is example.conf, you could set up a single device like this:

$ ip link add dev wg0 type wireguard
$ wg setconf wg0 example.conf

That single netdev is now configured to communicate with several peers.

I hope this clarifies things. Let me know if you have further questions.

Regards,
Jason
