Not necessarily. There is no word or phrase in English that requires a comma before or after it. Commas are features of sentence structure, not of words or phrases.
Often, but not always: it depends on how you are using the word.
When "but" introduces an independent clause, you need to use a comma before it:
I had planned to buy a pumpkin, but there were none left.
There are, however, other ways that "but" can be used that do not require a comma before:
- There was nothing but rubble where the house had been.
- There was nobody there but the night watchman.
- There is but one rule you must remember.
