Absolutely not necessarily so.  Web pages can be coded to look at location information and selectively load based upon it.  A classic example of this is language-specific versions of web pages.  You'll see web pages that load in the USA very often that have "en" or "us-en" as one of the nodes in the URL that gets generated as the original non-nation-centric URL itself loads.  If you were in a German-speaking venue that "en" would be "de," or French-speaking it would be "fr," with the language used on the page varying accordingly.

The main URL is simply a landing page that triggers the code to load "the real page" based on information that can be derived based on the user's location (which is also why you often get the dialogs that say a site is asking for your location if you happen to be someone who blocks location or has the setting set to "ask" when it's wanted).

There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year-old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged.  One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.
