No, historically %! was sufficient to identify a postscript file.  
Files that conform to the Postscript document structure convention  
are supposed to start with %!PS-Adobe-3.0 (for example, for PS3), but  
%! is a valid first line for a postscript file. In fact, postscript  
files that are valid but don't conform to all the structural  
conventions are supposed to start with %! (or at least not the full %! 
PS-Adobe-3.0).
