No. There are two types of charger to give the engine more air than it would be able to suck in naturally; a Supercharger and a Turbocharger.
The supercharger is an electrically (usually) driven fan that compresses the air. A turbocharger does the same job, but it is driven by the flow of exhaust gases through a small turbine. Thus the turbocharger has a small lag time, for it depends upon engine speed for its performance. Whereas a supercharger is independent of the engine operation.
Of course, many motors manage quite well without either accessory.
