False.
Work changes an object's energy, but the work done on it equals the change in its energy, not necessarily the energy it currently possesses. (Work–energy theorem: net work = ΔK.) Example: a moving object already has kinetic energy; if no further work is done, it still has that energy even though no additional work was "spent" on it.
