No. Under FPW, each EXE loaded it's own copy of the runtime libraries. This meant that if you ran 3 FPW applications at the same time, you would get 3 copies of the runtime libraries loaded in memory...a huge overhead. With VFP this all changed. Only one copy of the runtime is loaded. To do this, it was necessary to require the library files be located in a common location. This is no different than VB or hundreds of DLLs that exist for other applications.
