Not necessarily. Speaking ASA, if no effort to strike the ball was made, jmkupka's response applies here as well as the follow-up question.

Similar situation, but batter pulls back as they see the pitch is inside and the ball still hits the hand. Do you still have a DBStrike, or could you have a hit batter, and award them 1st base.
