In most cases, but not always.
When
that does not serve to refer to the immediately preceding noun, the intended meaning -- in other words, CONTEXT -- will make the situation clear.
From the OG12:

tool:
Marconi conceived of the radio as a TOOL THAT COULD SUBSTITUTE FOR THE TELEPHONE.
The intended meaning of the sentence makes the situation clear.
