Not necessarily. If you have a very uncommon surname and you meet someone with the same surname, then it is reasonable, but not certain, to think that you may be related. If you have a more common name, like Smith, Jones, Johnson, Low, etc., in the absence of other information, being related to someone else with the same surname is much less likely and sometimes very unlikely.
