Yes. An autobiography is, by definition, written (or ghost written for and approved by) it's subject. As such it is non-academic, and the tendency to make one-self appear in a positive light is high.

Why might all biographies be biased or unbalance despite who writes them?

It's not just biographies that can be biased- it's any piece of historical writing. And it can be for quite a few reasons really, it all depends on the views and opinions of the writer. For example, if the writer is a Catholic, they'll write a piece making Catholics look good, but if they're a Protestant, they'll write a piece making Protestants look good, and Catholics look bad. Another example is like during the English Civil War, when Cromwell was ruling- people on Cromwell's side would write praising Cromwell's decisions and critically about Charles I.
