Not necessarily, leaking injectors or slightly worn regulator will allow the fuel to drain back to the tank.
I would borrow or buy a fuel pressure gauge (100psi range) and monitor the pressure at the fuel rail. The fact that you've got such low volume of fuel from the pump indicates that its bad. I would replace it, the fuel filter and the rubber hoses (use EFI rated hose) If you're really anal, you can have the injectors cleaned and checked for leaks and reinstall them with new o-rings to be sure.

The FSM is very clear about the fuel lines being under constant pressure. I got no release of pressure from the gauge fitting on the fuel rail. The car has been sitting at least 2 weeks since I tried to start it. So I pulled the "in" line off the fuel filter (no residual pressure in the line at all) and held it into a catch bucket to test the pump. A buddy turned on the key. Fuel did pour out but not at a force I was expecting. What would one expect in the way of an amount of fuel from an open fuel line from the pump? If the pump was good, shouldn't the line maintain a constant pressure even after be cars been off via some kind of check valves or something?
