Yep, otherwise you would need to write something outside FreeRADIUS 
using something like radclient, to send disconnect packets to your NAS...
You also need your NAS to have the CoA and PoD extensions implemented, 
which not that many do at the moment (cisco being the main people who do).

If you have RADIUS accounting enabled your NAS should send an accounting 
stop packet on idle timeout with AcctTerminateCause set to Idle-Timeout.
