Yes. If the margins are closed at the top between the door and jamb on the non-hinge side you need to pull in the jamb at the top hinge. Now, if the door is that heavy and the bottom hinge has shifted or the jamb has pushed in at the bottom hinge (because whoever set the door didn't shim at the hinge points) there are things you can do to try to pull that area back out (which is the proper way) or put a shim in behind the hinge (which won't stop further settling). What you don't want is a situation where the hinge side jamb is bowed.
