No. You just have to hit the asterisk key followed by the phone key to unlock it. Essentially, autolock just activates the standard BB lock file whenever the screen goes black.

OK, I enabled Autolock, and rebooted but * phone isn't locking my keyboard.
I must be doing something wrong: I hit Alt-A to get *, then I hit the green phone button, but that just brings up my dial menu with an error that I entered a non-phone number.
Autolock doesn't lock your phone by pressing * phone. It locks it when your screen goes black from inactivity. The length of time before the screen goes black can be set in the options area of your curve. To unlock, that is when you use * phone.
