No, it is not. That is not the only way for enabling forward search.
You can add the necessary options directly to the converter, or even
have a wrapper script for (pdf|xe)latex that enables it.

For example, I never use that preference per document, and directly add
--synctex=1 to the converter. In this way, all documents have forward
search enabled without the need to change anything.
