Not necessarily. The stereo delay is just an effect that splits one signal into two. A true stereo recording can be as simple as two microphones or as complex as several mic's on a drum kit or a "deca tree", which is a cluster of several mic's used to record large ensembles. Here's a primer on how to stereo mic an acoustic guitar: http://www.humbuckermusic.com/acguitrectec.html
It's not limited to the use of mic's though. If you have an acoustic electric you could send the mic to one track, pick-up to the other, and mix the two.
If you are able to multitrack do that. That way you can have the ability to mix the mic and pick-up how you want. Stereo just means you can pan somthing from left to right. If it's mono, no matter what you do it will stay in the center. Always record in stereo.
Okay...so I'm using my mic, and I recorded something, and I realize that I had the thing still set to "record on mono". oh crap. so I changed it to "record in stereo" annd its still doing it in mono
