Not necessarily.

In Tools>Options>OpenOffice.org>Java there's a list of installed JREs. The 
leftmost column of this list contains "radio buttons". Make sure one of these 
buttons is "pressed" (has a black dot in it). Even if there is only one JRE 
installed, if its radio button is not pressed you will get the "JRE defective" 
message.

Took me a couple of hours to stumble across this the other day after I upgraded 
my JRE (for totally other reasons) and started getting the "defective" message 
from OOo.
