Not necessarily. That depends on what contains the tarball.

Code:
bunzip2 < firefox.tar.bz2 | tar xf -
/opt/firefox/firefox

The first one uncompress the bz2 file and pipe the resulting output, which is a tar file, to a tar command that extracts this archive in the current directory.
The last one is just launching the firefox command that has just been extracted.
