No..  The normal AT&T iPhone 3G/3GS/4 also works in the 2100mhz W-CDMA band 
used by much of the rest of the world.  Your AT&T US Model iPhone works just 
fine overseas, if you want to pay the roaming charged or unlock it with a local 
SIM (microSIM) card.

I used my  3GS in Japan when I was there last and will use my iPhone 4 when we 
go to Japan this year.  I keep data roaming off but have voice roaming on in 
case of emergency and turn on data roaming when I have an emergency (I used 
iSSH from a food court in Osaka to log in to a server in Salt Lake City to fix 
a mail problem after receiving a phone call from Germany when I was last there).
