In theory, yes. Rechargeable batteries come with some charge in them. But they do lose that slowly over time, even when they are not in use. So if it's a long while between manufacture and when the battery is actually installed, it may have become depleted.
It's much likelier for batteries from older models to need a charge when you first install them. As models age, people buy less parts and batteries often sit around longer before being used.

iPad devices use lithium ion batteries. This type of battery keeps it health best when stored between 30%-70% charged. Any device you buy with a lithium ion battery should not come to you fully discharged (dead battery). I would expect a brand new iPad to arrive with around 70% charge, but it will vary based on how long the iPad was in storage and Apples current practices.

Joshua, that's a question for the iFixit Store personnel. This, however, is the community repair forum and isn't frequented by those guys. You'll want to contact them directly at support@ifixit.com. If @amber has a chance, she may be able to respond to you.
