Yes and No, A preliminary hearing is when you have a court date and the judge ask you would you like to hire a lawyer on your own or be appointed one by the court and the judge will set another court date and give you time to talk to the appointed lawyer or hire your own lawyer but you can get a a bond if you don,t have one when you go to your preliminary hearing, but if you are denied a bond that's when you have to get the appointed lawyer or your hired lawyer to set you a date for a bail hearing and that takes like 48 to 72 hours depending on your lawyer to get another court date to try to see can a bond be posted.
