If you don't have a backup, yes.

So do have Time Machine on (enabled)?

If you do, deleted files are saved in a hidden folder and you can restore them even if you have not recently run a TM backup. Just enter Time Machine's restore interface then look for the grey tab along the right side for the date/time you want to restore and you file should be there.
