No. He wrote a number of plays before the Globe was built in 1599, including such well-known plays as Romeo and Juliet, A Midsummer Night's Dream and Richard III. He also wrote plays to be performed at court (Love's Labour's Lost is one) and also to be played at the indoor Blackfriars Theatre, which the company acquired in 1608.

Why was Shakespeare so fond of the Globe as to write most of his plays for its stage?

He did not. Shakespeare's writing career went from about 1590 to 1613, and the Globe Theatre was built in 1599. Before the Globe was built, Shakespeare wrote nine of his ten history plays, eight comedies including The Merchant of Venice, A Midsummer Night's Dream and Much Ado About Nothing, and the Tragedies Titus Andronicus and Romeo and Juliet. That's nineteen of the thirty-eight plays he is generally credited with which were not written for performance at the Globe; about half of his works. Shakespeare was not particularly "fond of" the Globe. It was the theatre at which his company primarily performed. Although state-of-the-art when it was built, it was quickly superseded by The Fortune, but remained an excellent venue and suitable for their performances. After 1608, the company acquired the use of a second, indoor theatre called the Blackfriars. Some scholars think that some plays (such as Macbeth) were written with the Blackfriars rather than the Globe in mind.

What did William Shakespeare do in the theater?

Although we do not have complete records, we know that Shakespeare had many roles in the theatre. He was part owner of the Globe theatre and a member of the Lord Chamberlain's men and later the King's men. That meant that he fulfilled the role of producer in the modern sense. He also was an actor. He may have been involved in the direction of the plays. He was the company's main playwright until he brought in John Fletcher to co-write plays with him and to take over from him when he retired. We do not know what jobs he did while learning the theatrical trade, but likely he did a variety of menial jobs during this period.
