Not at all. The number only gives a high end though. Even if they had 1000 they could have only used 10 (or even none) effectively given the right circumstances.
When you look at the cold war numbers for the US and USSR the game documents only 322 strikes from well over 20000 warheads. (~1.6%)
Yes these are only for strikes in the UK, USA, Canada, Europe and the USSR and sub 500kt strikes are not fully documented, but it certainly does not indicate that anywhere near a majority of the warheads were used effectively.
