Does there have to be an indirect object if there is a direct object?

No. In fact most sentences with direct objects don't have indirect objects.
I ate the ice cream.
I kicked the ball.
Even sentences that do have an indirect object can usually be rewritten to use a prepostional phrase instead.
I gave him a dollar.
I gave a dollar to him.
However, sentences that have an indirect object should always have a direct object.
I gave him doesn't make much sense.
I gave him a dollar is better.
