Not neccessarily. Don Corleone accepted the drug trade in his territory, as the Five Families knew that if he accepted the drug trade, some of his politician friends would flee from him, since drugs were a dangerous business. This would weaken the Corleones, and as Salvatore Tessio and Pete Clemenza complain to Vito Corleone about, they say that Barzini and Tattaglia were chiseling away at their territory and that Tessio wouldn't have one place in Brooklyn left to hang his hat. They were technically at peace, but they were also at war at the same time.
