No,

iaxmodem gives HylaFAX software modes that can also communicate with 
Asterisk.

 From the iaxmodem home page:

IAXmodem is a software modem written in C that uses an IAX channel 
(commonly provided by an Asterisk PBX system) instead of a traditional 
phone line and uses a DSP library instead of DSP hardware chipsets.

IAXmodem was originally conceived to function as a fax modem usable with 
HylaFAX <http://hylafax.sourceforge.net>, and it does that well. However 
IAXmodem also has been known to function with mgetty+sendfax and efax.
