No. Asteroids are scattered throughout the solar system in various orbits, some of which are relatively stable. Some have orbits that pass near Earth. But the vast preponderance of large asteroids are in the Main Belt between Mars and Jupiter.
The problem with highly elliptical orbits is that the asteroid will be influenced by the major planets, moons, and the Sun. If its orbit is disturbed, it could be trapped by a giant planet or pulled too close to the Sun. Over the life of the solar system, many small asteroids have been either pulled into the Sun or ejected from the inner solar system by the gravity fields there.

∙ 12y agoNo. Most asteroids in the solar system are in the asteroid belt, but not all. The ones that may threaten to strike earth, for example, are outside the asteroid belt.

Is Neptune in or outside of the asteroid belt?
There are no planets in the asteroid belt. Neptune's orbit is farther from the sun than practically all asteroids are.
