No, generally you do not need a lot pf phosphorous to grow grass. Nitrogen is the most important.

Grass consumes relatively more nitrogen than phosphorous and potassium
This is why a lawn fertilizer typically have higher levels of nitrogen compared to the latter two. Example: 33-3-3 (33% nitrogen, 3% phosphorous, and 3% potassium)

If you are unsure, you can have a soil test done through your local county extension office and they will be able to tell you if your soil is phosphorous deficient. Typically, this is not a concern, however.

Because there is a lot of rainfall, and it is quite hilly, which means farmers don't want to grow crops there because they can't get the machines up there so this means there is space for grass to grow.
