Yes.
See
man -M /var/qmail/man qmail-command
and search for DEFAULT

You only need the explicit smtproutes entry if you cannot resolve an
MX record or host name for sub.company.com. If that's the case you'll
need
sub.company.com:host.company.com
where you can resolve the IP address for host.company.com, or
sub.company.com:[1.2.3.4]
where you cannot resolve the IP address, so you explicitly set it. The
square brackets are important.

If you mean /var/qmail/users/cdb, then yes, always. If you mean some
other file then which one. The only cdb file that's part of qmail is
/var/qmail/users/cdb.
But we weren't talking about /var/qmail/users/cdb, were we?
