Definitely not.  See the example I just posted.

Those aren't ties but slurs.  Big difference.  Take a look at the last
line of
:
there in the middle two bars you have a sequence of slurs in a passage
over two strings (D string and A string) where the first of two
sixteenth notes is fingered on the D string and the second on the
A string.  Obviously you would not want to play a~a (a tie, namely just
a single note) for those instances where two a appear in succession but
rather a( a) like with the other two-note two-string occurences.

So the difference between ties and slurs is important.  A slur indicates
execution without pause but two separate notes.  A tie indicates a
single note that has its value split for notational reasons.

Shouldn't slurred notes of the same pitch sound as tied?

( ) is a slur, not a tie. Try:

e'8 g~ g g~ g e~ e a |
