No, some of them use cilia to move as well.

The kingdom protista is a group that varies widely but shares a few things in common. They are all eukaryotic and live in moist environments. Beyond those two characteristics, they can be microscopic or incredibly long, unicellular or multicelluar. So no, all members of the kingdom protista do not possess flagella.
