No, many invertebrates do not have exoskeletons. For instance, the octopus (a shell-less mollusc) is an invertebrate but has no exoskeleton - it uses it flexibility to move into deep crevaces looking for prey to eat. There are also earthworms (annelids or segmented worms) that are invertebrates but have no exoskeletons.

An exoskeleton is a rather specialized organ most commonly associated with insects.

No because bugs like ants and slugs don't have one(sometimes they do but only in rare occasions) and normally some have one because they have to be a bit harder to protect them self.

In terms of number, yes. The largest group of invertebrates is the insects, all of which have exoskeletons. Crustaceans, another large group of arthropods, also possess exosksletons.

Yes - that's part of what classifies them as insects in the first place.
