Actually, no. There has to be a positive (green text) treaty between every pair of players in order to have a peace victory condition.
Otherwise, the game would end on the first turn, since everybody has a "none" treaty with everybody else at that time.
"No wars" would not be the only victory condition. Something like "200% of second place player, no existing wars, after 100 turns" is very common. There are innumerable variations that could include the "no wars" factor. As you stated, victory conditions of only "no wars" would end the game on turn one.
