No. Definitely not. If your back hurts after workout it means, either you have a weak back or you are doing the exercises wrongly. Generally, doing heavy exercises like squats or shoulder presses with bad form or in an improper way puts a heavy stress on our back which causes Back pain. Some people who have met with accidents or due to any other reasons have a weaker lower back. If these people indulge in heavy weights workout without proper back support (Belt) they may get back pain.
First you take a week off from the gym to ensure that you do not have back pain.
Then, I would suggest you check out with a experienced mentor in the gym and get their opinion about the way you do heavy exercises. If they feel you are doing it wrong, find out the proper way and fix it. If you do not get any further pain after the workout it means your workout was the reason and nothing to worry.
Even after doing the exercises in a proper way you get pain, better consult a doctor...

Is it good that your back hurts after few days of lifting weights?
In your case, my suspicion is that it is not good that your back hurts after lifting weights. It is common and acceptable to have a slight degree of muscle soreness after doing any type of heavy work. This is associated with the process of muscle development that occurs when the muscle tissue is pushed beyond its usual limit resulting in muscle breakdown; in response the body repairs the newly torn muscle tissue by increasing the size and number of cells that were engaged in the heavy work. As a result, continued exercise will increase muscle strength by increasing the size of those muscles being exercised. This is why to get stronger and larger a weight lifter must push his body to continually lift more and more weight, and he must allow time after heavy lifting in which he allows the body to heal and rest so the muscle can recover. However, you question only mentions the back hurting and not the arms, shoulders, legs or specific areas that are normally exercised when lifting weights. For this reason I suspect that you are incorrectly doing your weight lifting, and in the process injuring your back. You might be using incorrect technique or using weight that is far beyond your current capacity to lift safely. I suggest that you speak to someone who has lifted weights for a while, as at a local gym or health club to learn how to lift safely.
