No.

Only policy routing requires the next hop to be on the same subnet (the
next hop may in such case be yet another router with policy routing)

When using WCCP the router encapsulated the redirected packets within
WCCP GRE headers, which makes the traffic between the router and the
cache fully routable.

WCCP requires the cache server to be able to address the client by his
real IP address as seen by the WCCP router.
