Not necessarily. In a spring scale, mass is measured indirectly through its weight - obviously with the implicit assumption that the gravitational pull doesn't change. It is also possible to measure a mass by using Newton's Second Law (F=ma, or m = F/a), that is, measure how much an object accelerates with a certain force (or how much force is required for a certain acceleration), although I don't know whether such measuring devices are actually used in practice.
