For this glyph, yes.

Sorry for being ambiguous. It either means:
. To get the smallest global bounding box of a font you have to
render all glyphs of a font
or
. To get the smallest bounding box of a glyph string you have to
render all glyphs of the string.

As I told you already multiple times: You have to render the glyphs to
get exact bounding boxes, regardless whether you use hinting or not.
