No, not at all. The BIOS (as most people understand it) is an x86-only
thing. There are *many* firmware implementations on various arm/arm64
platforms. The two most likely ones you'll fine on arm64 boards and
machines are
* U-Boot (either loading booting kernels directly, or as a limited
EFI)
* Tianocore (EFI only)
You can happily boot Debian on many machines using either. In terms of
booting the installer, there are a range of images that you can use
for different U-Boot machines, or with EFI you should be able to use
the standard ISOs.
The libreboot link from Paolo is talking about ancient x86 hardware
with coreboot, which isn't really relevant here.
