Not necessarily. NAT is Network Address Translation. Any network.
There's no reason why you can't use NAT in private networks, and in some
situations it makes sense to do so.
Do you have a wireless AP on a private network? If so, you're probably
doing exactly what you've just said is silly.

No it's not. You can solve the original problem with or without NAT,
but without knowing more about the original poster's requirements, you
can't say whether it's better to use NAT or not in this case.
