Not necessarily.

N1570 7.21.2p3:

    A binary stream is an ordered sequence of characters that can
    transparently record internal data. Data read in from a binary
    stream shall compare equal to the data that were earlier written
    out to that stream, under the same implementation. Such a stream
    may, however, have an implementation-defined number of null
    characters appended to the end of the stream.

For example, a system might only support binary files consisting of a
whole number of fixed-size blocks.
