Not necessarily. The 404.png is fetched by the JS API when the
javascript gets a 404 from the tileserver or otherwise can't fetch the
requested tile. The 404 tile lives on www (at
http://www.openstreetmap.org/openlayers/img/404.png ) so potentially
if you have tile.osm.org blocked/firewalled somehow the javascript
will show you the 404.png instead.

Cheers,
Andy
