No, but it is highly recommended. Some catchers use First baseman gloves instead, because they also have good padding.
I do believe they have to have a padded mitt to catch. Catching fastballs is sometimes painful even with a catcher's mitt on.

In little League thru High School, most batters are right handed as well. A left handed catcher will not have near as much success throwing the ball to second on a steal.
