No.  
Here’s a summary of what you need to watch content from a remote server.

From [https://support.plex.tv/articles/requirements-for-remote-playback-of-personal-media/](https://support.plex.tv/articles/requirements-for-remote-playback-of-personal-media/)

> When using an affected platform to stream personal video content remotely from a Plex Media Server, then one of the following needs to be true:
> 
> 1. The admin account for the Plex Media Server has an active Plex Pass (which also allows remote playback for any other user streaming from that server)
> 2. Your account has an active Plex Pass
> 3. Your account has an active Remote Watch Pass
> 
> The remote playback restrictions do not apply to streaming music content to Plexamp or photos to our Plex Photos app.
