No. detect_coding_utf_16 tries to check if the file is
UTF-16 or not by checking the dispersion of Eth and Oth
bytes where E is even and O is odd. But, there were two
bugs in the code. One was already fixed by this change.

* coding.c (detect_coding_utf_16): Fix typo counting odd bytes.
And, I've just installed a fix of another bug.
So, with the latest code, if you set
inhibit-null-byte-detection to t, and prefer utf-16be and/or
utf-16le, Emacs will detect UTF-16 files without BOM in most
cases.
