No. If you're a German citizen you can get a German ID card, even if you never set foot in Germany. See for instance http://www.brasil.diplo.de/Vertretung/brasilien/pt/Konsulars... (in Portuguese, instructions on how to get a German ID card for Brazilian residents).

That's probably correct, but Estonia's point is theirs is the first that requires neither citizenship nor physical residency.
