Yes. See this topic in Google Nest Help about sharing access to the Google Nest devices in your Google "home": "...only home members who also sign in with a Google Account will be able to see your Nest products in the Nest app":

Hi folks,

Thanks for your help here, MplsCustomer.

Thanks for reaching out! Absolutely! Your family member must have an account so you can share access to your Nest Hello doorbell live video. Your family members must use a Google account when you're adding them.

Have a look at these articles: Migrate your Nest Account to a Google Account and Share a home and devices in the Google Home app.

Let me know if you have further questions.

Best,

JT
