Yes. ~/.bashrc is only sourced by an interactive, non-login shell.
If you want it to be sourced by a login shell, you need to put a line
like this:
[ -r ~/.bashrc ] && source ~/.bashrc
into ~/.bash_profile (or ~/.profile). For more details, please see
the INVOCATION section of the bash(1) man page.
