Well, not exactly.

The EFI partition is where you store bootloaders and other EFI
executables you might want accessible during boot (such as an UEFI
shell). The EFI partition has nothing to do with GPT disks as such, you
would still need one if the disk was MBR and you wanted to boot in UEFI
mode (though certain firmwares might not be too happy with that setup).
