No that is not the case you can directly install sp3 if you have windows xp sp3 disk there will be no problem.

To install SP3, either Windows XP Service Pack 1a (SP1a) or Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) must already be installed. The issues usually stem from trying to upgrade machines already in service, rather than installing it on new machines. Windows XP is a line of operating systems produced by Microsoft for use on personal computers, including home and business desktops, laptops, and media centers. Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) is a free update for Windows XP. SP3 includes all previously released Windows XP updates, including security updates, hotfixes, and select out-of-band releases.
