No.  What actually accomplishes the "tear-off" effect is the 
GtkHandleBox widget.  All you have to do is pack your toolbar into a 
handlebox and you're set:

GtkWidget *HandleBox, *Toolbar;

HandleBox = gtk_handle_box_new();

/* You don't have to use this style... */

Toolbar = gtk_toolbar_new (GTK_ORIENTATION_HORIZONTAL, 
GTK_TOOLBAR_ICONS);

gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (HandleBox), Toolbar);

/* Only use this next line if you don't want the window to shrink */
/* when detaching a handlebox.                                    */

/* GTK_HANDLE_BOX (HandleBox)->shrink_on_detach = FALSE; */

/* Add stuff to your toolbar... */

gtk_widget_show (Toolbar);
gtk_widget_show (HandleBox);


... And that's it.  Also, you can put a menubar in a handlebox for the 
tear-off effect.
