No, it was hinted Madara gained Wood Release before Rinnegan. Also, not everyone with Hashi Cell's/Chakra automatically gets Wood Release, for example Naruto now has a Hashi DNA arm and he does not have Wood Release. Nagato's Rinnegan also had Izuna/Madara and Hashirama's chakra in it and yet he didn't have Wood Release.
