Not necessarily, but possibly. The state and federal returns are completely separate in their processing. Just because the state sends you a letter does not mean the federal will require you to verify your identity.
However, it also does not mean the federal will not request identity verification. If it has been a while since you filed your federal return and it was accepted, then you should watch your mail for a letter from the IRS in case you have been selected to verify for both.
