No doesn't need any controlsource.
You could set it in form.init. If rowsourcetype is something that's a cursor (fields,SQL,quer,alias) then as you move in listbox you're moving the pointer in listbox (listindex = 1, recno() of underlying cursor is 1)

I generally use RowSourceType=3 - SQL. As I move in its cursor I simply set:

myListBox.ListIndex = recno('cursorName')
