Actually, no - it doesn't.

You can pick any handle you like for a texture.  The only reason to use
glGenTexture is to guarantee that your texture handle is unique in a
situation where maybe you have some other library allocating textures
and you don't know what handles that library is using.

Same deal with display list handles.
