Not necessarily. The address that signs to create a request is not necessarily the same address that receives the payment. They can be different.

The address that signs to create a request is the signer when creating a request via createRequest() in the Request Network SDK. It's usually the payee identity but can alternatively be the payer identity.
The address that receives the payment is defined by the paymentNetwork, usually at paymentNetwork.parameters.paymentAddress.

This design allows for a single payee identity to have potentially multiple payment addresses.
