Yes ... but you can move that space to be adjacent to any partition by
moving the paritions around and then resize the partition to fill the
gap, AFAIK. Although I can't recall if gparted is up to the task of
doing that.
Also with LVM, I believe you can just make a new Physical Volume and
extend your Logical Volume to include it no matter where it is (non
adjacent partition or different disk). But I am not experienced with
LVM as it seemed overkill for my simple partitioning needs and haven't
played with it much so take what I have to say about LVM with a grain
of salt.

In any case, based on the OPs message, with his configuration, doing a
dd will most certainly leave unpartitioned space adjacently after his
second partition.
