Not necessarily. The line of succession might only be passed on to the first-born (if she’s the elder twin) or maybe the Northern Water Tribe has some kind of matriarchal rule. I got the impression the episodes The Waterbending Master and The Siege of the North that tribal princesses are significant to the tribe beyond leadership, like some spiritual importance or something.
