No, there asteroids in other areas of the solar system. For example, the ring systems of Jupiter and Saturn both contain some asteroids. Also there are probably asteroids in the various Lagrangian points of the larger orbiting masses (aka planets ;)

The asteroid belt is the region of the Solar System located roughly between the orbits of the planets Mars and Jupiter where 98.5% of the known minor planets' orbits can be found.
