Hi Hemant,
no, it is not in case of ASM.

"RDBMS does raw IO against the ASM disks, so need for FILESYSTEMIO_OPTIONS 
parameter. The only parameter that needs to be set is disk_asyncio=true, which 
is true by default. If using ASMLIB then even the disk_async does not need to 
be set."

Check slide 11 of the Oracle presentation "Top 10 Things You Always Wanted to 
Know About Automatic Storage Management But Were Afraid to Ask" for more 
detailed information.
