Readers of the books know that is definitely not the case.

For instance Areo Hotah is a repeated point of view character who is merely there to provide prospective on the court of Dorne as a silent body guard. Fans of the series call him "the camera who rides."

On the other hand GRRM has said characters like Littlefinger and Varys will never have chapters because their plans are too revealing of the end of the book. They are too central to be PoV characters.

His chapters is called "The captain of guards" and not "Areo" as is the way chapters of the main POV characters is named.

Numerous characters both major and minor get chapter names like that. Asha gets a chapter where she's "the sacrifice", Victarion gets a chapter where he's "the iron suitor" and chapters that just go by their name as well. Arya has been "the ugly little girl" in the chapter title. Theon has been "the ghost of winterfel".

Regardless, he's still a point of view character that isn't central to the plot.
