No. If you have no US income from any source, then you do not need to file a return.

Publication 519, U.S. Tax Guide for Aliens states:

Nonresident aliens are taxed only on their income from sources within the United States and on certain income connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States (see chapter 4)
