Not necessarily! I always run ln -s '/usr/bin/$EDITOR' $(which $EDITOR) after a fresh install, so I have a valid executable on the path called $EDITOR.
Of course, then I have to make sure to add export EDITOR=\$EDITOR to my .bashrc. (Obviously.)
Well,.that's one way to solve the problem of not expanding your editor var correctly...
The best text editor is ‘$EDITOR’.
