Everything on Earth is on a tectonic plates. Some lakes form as a result of plate tectonics, but not all. Lakes may form in between mountains or downthrust areas created by plate tectonics. In other cases, though, lakes may form in impact or volcanic craters, areas carved out by glaciers, or on streams dammed by landslides. There are even man-made lakes.
