Not always. This varies between systems. I've personally encountered a
system where it's almost impossible to hit the grub menu (neither
holding down a key nor random bashing reliably gets you to it, you have
to try and time a press precisely, and you only get it about 1 try in
5-10; not a lot of fun), and several people have reported similar
systems - including some where it simply seems impossible to get to the
boot menu with a 0 timeout - in previous discussions about this.
