no not neccessarily but sometimes i use tht as an inication to change something whether it be the number of sets, or to vary the exercises.

the theoryof "no pain no gain" is bullcrap. i know alot of lifters who dont necessarily feel sore after every workout and still make great size and strength gainsbeing sore is just a build up of lactic acidm it cant be used as ameasure to gauge if a workout is good or poor IMO

Just make sure you perform more work than your last workout and you will see progression. Work can take the form of any of these: more reps, more sets, more resistance, etc. Soreness only indicates muscle fiber damage, not progression.

The more you work out, the more lactic acid your body produces. There for you have more energy to work out. And you do not get sore. Dont lift for a week then you will be sore.

Scientist call this DOMS, delayed onset muscle soreness.
It takes at least eight hours to feel this type of soreness. You finish a workout and feel great; then you get up the next morning and your exercised muscles feel sore. It used to be thought that next-day muscle soreness is caused by a buildup of lactic acid in muscles, but now we know that lactic acid has nothing to do it. Next-day muscle soreness is caused by damage to the muscle fibers themselves. Muscle biopsies taken on the day after hard exercise show bleeding and disruption of the z-band filaments that hold muscle fibers together as they slide over each other during a contraction.

no. being sore doesn't necessarily indicate progress.
