It does not. I lived in the midwest for the majority of my life and never once had to water my lawn to keep everything green and alive.
Lay down a layer of rock landscaping over landscaping fabric around a home in suburban Minnesota without maintaining it (e.g. by aggressively applying weed preventer and weeding it) and in 3-5 years it will be covered with native prairie grasses and weeds growing between and around the rock.
