No. It doesn't require an XRD to have that file extension.
It doesn't require host-meta to become host-meta.xrd -- though I think that would be a good idea. For instance, today Google serve their host-meta with the correct media type, but Yahoo use the wrong one.

curl -i http://www.yahoo.com/.well-known/host-meta
