No. There are other asteroid belts besides the main asteroid belt in our solar system. Also, there are asteroids outside our solar system.

Why do you think scientist have not named all of the asteroids in the asteroid belt?
Scientists may not have named all of the asteroids in the asteroid belt because there are so many that they are hard to keep track of.
What is the asteroid belt and where is you located?
The belt lies between Mars and Jupiter and it contains many asteroids, all in orbit round the Sun.
Are all the asteroid in the asteroid belt?
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.
What are any of thousands of celestial bodies with diameters between one and five hundred miles that revolve around the Sun in orbits located mostly between those of Jupiter and Mars?
Those are "asteroids". The region is collectively known as the Main Asteroid Belt. However, the Asteroid Belt is in no sense the way movies portray it. You would not be dodging thousands of asteroids, all moving in a variety of directions. You could throw a moon through the asteroid belt with little danger.
Why do you call the asteroid belt the Main Belt?
to keep all the rocks in one place
How many satellites does the asteroid belt have?
the Asteroid belt has no satelites all the asteroids that make up the belt is another asteroids satelite so there would be thousands of satelites
Why do you think scientist have not named all of the asteroids in the asteroid belt?
Scientists may not have named all of the asteroids in the asteroid belt because there are so many that they are hard to keep track of.
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.
What is an astro belt?
The total weight of all the asteroids in the asteroid belt is about 1/35th of our moon!
Are all the astroids in the solar system located in the asteroid belt?
No. The asteroid belt merely contains the greatest portion of the solar system's asteroids.
If all the asteroids in the asteroid belt were combined would they be smaller then the moon?
The answer is no. Because alot of the asteroids are as big as a grain of sand.
Why do scientists refer to it as an asteroid belt and not a planet?
Currently the combined mass of all the asteroids in the asteroid belt is much less than that of any planet, though there were probably many more asteroids in the belt when the solar system was young. One of the leading hypotheses is that gravitational disturbances from Jupiter prevented a planet from forming where the asteroid belt is.
Where does asteroid's take place in the solar system?
Most asteroids are found in the asteroid belt just out past Mars or in the Kuiper belt which is out past all the planets. Although, rogue asteroids can be found literally anywhere in the solar system.
In between what two planets are asteroids?
The vast majority of asteroids is in the the asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. However, there are asteroids all around the solar system.
How did the asteroid belt get it name?
The asteroid belt is a region in the solar system between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter where almost all the asteroids are concentrated. This region looks like a belt, or a ring around the Sun.
