No, the laptop motherboards also have this battery you speak of, however the battery, the main 1, is used for keeping the motherboard on low stand by power, so that when you press the power button, or if you have wake on lan enabled, when the signal is sent to the network adapter the motherboard can turn on the computer and power up all the other components. This is the same way that a desktop works, except a desktop of course draws the power from the AC outlet, the laptop does too, but when it's running on battery only it draws this small amount of power from the battery. It ads up after a few hours...
