No because a central heating pump isn't actually a pump its a circulater which provides a flow around the heating system.

The correct term for a pump on a hydronic system is actually a circulator.
Water is virtually non-compressible so the pump is not actually boosting pressure, although if you had pressure gauges on the suction and discharge it would appear compressed.
It only appears compressed because the pressure drop across the entire system makes you think you are boosting pressure. It is really just circulating water and you are reading the pressure drop across the entire system when the pump is running.
The near boiler piping is of utmost importance as the incorrect placement of the expansion tank and makeup feed water inlet can cause pressure, air, and circulation problems.

If you mean a central heating pump, the answer is no. The pump just keeps the water in the system circulating

Yes. Anything pumped will be at a higher pressure.

no a pump is designed to circulate water around the system
