Yes. This is absolutely essential for any public-key system to be secure.
Imagine if someone asks you, "Should we attack at dawn? Send the message
securely using m
Thank you for all your answers. Very helpful.

The decryption process can succeed because the protocol specifies that
the padding can contain randomness, and it knows where the padding
starts.
Padding is used when the final block is smaller than the block size.
Some pad forms append a full block of padding to an otherwise
fully-sized block.
