No, not necessarily. The definition of refugee is "a person who has been forced to leave their country in order to escape war, persecution or natural disaster". When we think of a refugee we think of people living in camps because they are out of their country and don't have a place to stay. There are very few people, but some live elsewhere, other than camps.
Some of the main camps (Stammlager) had several satellite camps. These were usually smaller labour camps away from the main camp. Remember that by about 1940 the SS to some extent saw itself as a business entreprise, hiring out very cheap labour ... So, they had satellite camps at several workplaces and projects. Conditions at satellite camps varied: at some they were as bad or even worse than at the main camps, at others they were a little better. Many of the smaller satellite camps were temporary. Once the project was complete, the camp was dissolved and the inmates were sent elsewhere. At all satellite camps, the inmates were kept out of view of ordinary German workers and they were still subject to supervision by the SS.

Auschwitz was a vast complex of camps (three main camps and 45 satellite camps). Nearly all the survivors were from the forced labour camps. Well known survivors include Elie Wiesel, Primo Levi and Fania Fenelon.
By 1944 Nazi had 13 main concentration camps and over 500 satellite camps. The concentration camps were not just to murder people but also for free slave labor.
The biggest was Auschwitz, which at one time consisted of three camps on the main site and 45 satellite camps; the smallest was Kuhlen, which operated from July till October 1933 and had only 200 inmates.
Nazi camps were very dangerous because of the people that ran them and because of how Hitler made it scary for people.
