Not necessarily. In my area, ammonium nitrate is not readily available; its substitute is a blend of urea and ammonium sulfate. You can also make 34-0-0 by mixing 74% urea and 26% inert filler.
The nitrate component of ammonium nitrate is readily available under all temperatures in which plants grow. OTOH, non-nitrate nitrogen sources such as urea and ammonium sulfate are slow to surrender their nitrogen where the soil is cold. Thus, in Alaska, a 34-0-0 derived from ammonium nitrate is preferred over a non-nitrate 34-0-0.
