No, all personal fouls do not have to include contact with an opponent. Examples:
1) Hurdling
2) Unnecessary contact with an official
Speaking of item 2... 99.9% of the players when I am umpire are extremely polite (feigned or real) when asking me to move to give them the position they are looking for . Typically I bump into a few when backing up after RFP, and they excuse themselves, all politely. In a varsity game a few weeks ago, one kid surprised me by attempting to push (I am 6'3", 275 pounds so not an easy push) and saying "get out of my way". I just reminded him to be polite (his team was losing badly, running clock, etc). Is that a PF situation or did I do the appropriate thing? There were no other issues the rest of the night (b4 or after).
