No.

You need to copy files from your assets directory to the device on the
first run.
In the beginning, you can check whether the file exits on device (on
in assets, check if exits in the device storage/sdcard -- where you
plan to have them)
If they dont exist, then copy from your assets to desired directory.

----------- example code for copy -----------------
//Open your file in assets
InputStream myInput = getAssets().open(FILE_NAME_GOES_HERE);

// Destination
String outFileName = PATH_WITH_FILENAME_WHERE_YOU_NEED_TO_COPY;

OutputStream myOutput = new FileOutputStream(outFileName);

//transfer bytes from the inputfile to the outputfile
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int length;
while ((length = myInput.read(buffer))>0){
myOutput.write(buffer, 0, length);
}

//Close the streams
myOutput.flush();
myOutput.close();
myInput.close();
