Not necessarily. A #2 pencil may also be designated as HB. Most of the ones that you see at the grocery store or big office supply store will be number 2 (lead hardness). But I know that #3 wood pencils do exist (#3 is a harder lead). They are probably less common now, than used to be, though. Maybe at an art store or drafting supply, you might find different hardness pencils.
