The short answer is no, tradition did not require an Inuit man to offer his wife to an overnight guest.
The long answer is complex, to the point that you'd probably have to read a good ethnography to get a handle on it. Inuit, Aleuts, and a few other Arctic cultures practiced a variety of spousal-sharing arrangements at times, but generally it was more of a swap, and in any case it's hard to really separate the fact from the fiction and misinterpretation because the historical record is not terribly great. Though unlikely, it would be in the realm of possibility that an Inuit husband would offer his wife to a total stranger, but it generally would come with an implication of future access to the guest's wife, and if there was an unmarried widow in a community there might be a somewhat better chance that she might offer herself to the stranger, but these would not be obligatory offerings by any means.
