No, it means that you need to create a default partition.
here is an example:
CREATE TABLE sales_list
(salesman_id  NUMBER(5),
salesman_name VARCHAR2(30),
sales_state   VARCHAR2(20),
sales_amount  NUMBER(10),
sales_date    DATE)
PARTITION BY LIST(sales_state)
PARTITION sales_west VALUES('California', 'Hawaii'),
PARTITION sales_east VALUES ('New York', 'Virginia', 'Florida'),
PARTITION sales_central VALUES('Texas', 'Illinois'),
PARTITION sales_other VALUES(DEFAULT)
);otherwise you'll have this exception:
ORA-14400: inserted partition key does not map to any partition
