Not necessarily. Some distros (e.g : RHEL5) support installers for PV.

In RHEL 5 at least, anaconda requires the block device/file to be mapped 
as disk (e.g hda, sda) not partition (e.g. sda1). Try changing it to
disk = [ "phy:lvm-raid/FileVolGroup,sda,w" ]

Having said that, if you're building lots of identical domUs, using 
prebuilt template (and mappingthe block device  as sda1 instead of sda) 
should be faster than installer.
