No you don't. That's the point.

If you configure raid autostart, then every partition with a
specific partition type will be scanned for raid superblocks when
the partition table for the disk has been read. The correct logical
devices will be set up, no matter which physical devices are found
to contain those superblocks.

It is all based on device content, not device location.
