Yes, for file systems on regular partitions.  File systems on software 
RAID or LVM partitions do not have labels (however, those have its own 
share of problems that need to be delt with from rescue mode when moving 
drives between systems).

In a nutshell.  Either prepare disks to be moved while they are still in 
the old system.  Or boot straight into rescue mode (and chose "do not 
look for my OS installations") after the disks are moved.  No way around it.
