No.  Many dynamic objects have both a normal and a dynamic symbol
table.  There is no reason why they cannot have both types of
relocation too.  eg.

$ cat hello.c
#include <stdio.h>
int main (void) { printf ("Hello!\n"); return 0; }
$ gcc -o hello -O2 -Wl,-emit-relocs hello.c
$ readelf -a --wide hello | less
