No. If unmarried, a father must establish his paternity legally.
Generally, if the parents are unmarried the mother has sole custody and control in most states until the father can establish his paternity.
Since the father didn't give birth and he was not legally married at the time of the birth he must establish his paternity by signing the birth certificate at the time of birth (waiving DNA testing rights) which must be done with mother's consent or he must seek another way to establish his paternity and that is done through a DNA. He can then establish his paternity legally through the court and once established as the child's father legally the father can request visitations, custody and set up a schedule of regular child support payments for the child if the mother is to retain physical custody.

If you live in the US... The child having the father's last name has NOTHING to do with custody.

If Dad is not listed on the birth certificate, it will be a simple thing for him to petition the court to establish paternity and once that's done he can then petition for custody/visitation.
