No, if the strawberries are fresh, and not overripe, it is perfectly fine to leave them at room temperature, especially if you will be using them the same day. However, I would wait until ready to use them before washing them. Just be sure to let them dry well after washing, unless they will be sliced, or mixed with sugar. Depending on the recipe, wet strawberries will "bleed" onto the pie, which could result in an unattractive appearance.
