You need an emacs process running in order to use emacsclient. It need not be a daemon. -a="" will launch a daemon process if there isn't a process already running, daemon or otherwise. I think the main distinction between daemon and non-daemon is that in daemon mode emacs may be running as a background task waiting for connections over a socket, and with nothing on the display. Non-daemon mode always has something on the display, even if minimized. So, basically, yes.
