No. Nitric acid can be purchased and stored in a glass bottle. There are a number of other substances it won't corrode as well including platinum and rhenium.

Can nitric acid dissolve iron oxide?

Quite effectively, actually. I was pickling a rusted bracket in nitric acid but I left it too long. The bracket was rust-free but the acid continued to eat the steel until it was paper-thin. You are better off using hydrochloric or phosphoric acid if you are prepping steel for painting. Both will open up the metal without eating it up.
