No. You can sync your phone with Google. That means, literally, that 
your phone will sync your contacts, and whatever else, with your Google 
account. This will make all your data visible from a web browser on 
google.com (gmail for contacts, calendar, etc.). If you make changes on 
google.com and sync with your phone those changes will be reflected on 
your phone.

No, I literally meant sync. Not "sync".
