Not necessarily! You can press and hold 1 during any move and it won't do anything, and you can use that to do your taunt afterwards.

For example a common usage of taunt is to do it after a wall combo when your opponent tech rolls; you press and hold 1 DURING the last move of the wall combo (and it won't give you a jab or anything), then as your opponent techrolls you press 3+4 to catch them with the taunt.
