No, you create it when you activate the encrypted backup within iTunes. However, Raul, the moderator of this list, indicated previously that this is the one situation in which he recommends using the same password. It's up to you.

Is the password that is required when doing an encripted backup the password for your Itunes account?

Hi Krister, If you are using iTunes, plug your phone in and select Restore from the device area. Once the restore is completed you will be asked if you want to set the phone up as a new device or restore from a backup. At that point you can choose to restore either your iCloud backup or an iTunes backup if you have done one. If you have the option to restore from iTunes I would highly recommend to do an encrypted backup and restore from it as it is much faster and gives you the most from a restore. If you want to do it all from your phone I assume you would simply go into Settings, General, Reset and select to "erase all content and settings". This would put your phone back to the factory default and once again after that is done you should have the option to set up as a new phone or to restore from your iCloud backup.
