No. Venus and Mercury have no moons. In the case of Mercury, this is probably due to the Sun's gravity. Earth's Moon is currently believed to have been formed from the Earth in a primordial collision. One or both of the two small moons of Mars may have similarly formed, while many of the small moons around the larger planets are likely captured asteroids.
Some planets have more than one moon because of gravitational forces that captured multiple objects in their orbits. These moons may have formed from the same material that created the planet or been captured later on. The way moons end up in orbit around a planet depends on its size, distance from the sun, and interactions with other celestial bodies.
