No. Usually roughly every 2nd car has its own motors but on the 1992
stock on the central line every car has motors.
It's a long time since I worked on the tube, but both "38" and "62"
stock had six out of eight cars as motor cars( that is driving the
train) whilst the non motor cars had the compressors underneath them.
Cars with driving facilities were usually two a train, making two
individual sets driven(operated)from the front.

From the 1938 TS up to the 1962 stock there were 2 trailers per 7 or 8 car
train with one motor per motor bogie.

The 1967 and subsequent stocks had two motors per motor bogie so a
slightly higher trailer car ratio, four out of eight in 1967 stock, three
out of seven in 1972 stock (and 1996 stock too when it is extended to
seven cars) and two out of six in other stocks apart from 1992 stock in
which every axle is motored.
