No. In XML numeric character references (and entity references defined in
terms of these) may denote _any_ unicode character, by unicode number,
irrespective of the encoding used for characters in the document.
So even if you have a latin1 (or us-ascii) encoded file you can still
refer to &mdash; as being the appropriate character.
