Nope, for western "consumers" of CSAM it's not uncommon to find CSAM produced by themselves or evidence of non-CSAM abuse (e.g. grooming). While organized crime does play a role in the "market", the majority of CSAM is produced within families. Also, some of the CSAM sharing rings that have been busted had a joining requirement of original/self-produced CSAM, so in those scenarios the participants who joined just to get access to CSAM were not just "in possession" of it but actively involved in abuse.
