Not necessarily, there might be a buckle; which would mean that you have compression on that portion. You'll need to stretch that section to relieve the strain and help it back to straight. If you don't do it right, you can create a lot of problems.
It's possible that if for example, the horns are one way or the other, that the flanges could be stretched, but the web wouldn't be. So when you moved the horns back, you could see the bulging of the flanges (excess metal or stretch), top and bottom; which could then be shrunk with heat.
Not seeing the frame, it's hard to say what to do. But whatever you decide to do to it, have someone that knows what they are doing make the corrections or you could end up with a useless frame.
