Yes, with the KAME IPSEC stack, a Security Policy Database entry is
required for every IPSEC exchange.
The difference is that IPSEC policies that define tunnel-mode connections
must specify both endpoints, while transport-mode (host to host) ones need
not to.

But, really, I'm not prepared enough to explain such a complicated matter
(in english) without making some mistake, so I advice you read it yourself
from some 'trusted' sources :-)  You may start at
