No. You can find anything anywhere (except regionals)!  
But it’s better to do. You have a better chance to chatch some other mons then.

It depends on your level too.  
I’m 35, and Lapras and Snorlax are pretty damn impossible here in Sao Paulo. Been playing 2 years now, and I have only seen 1 of each.  
I recommend Silph Road Global Nest Atlas so you can find pokemon nests around your city easily

It is best to get out & about to find different mons as they appear in different “biomes”. Google “Silph Road Nest atlas” - a user driven resource that can show you what type of Pokémon spawn in your area (globally actually as it shows you the world map) & can be used to find “nests” (spots where multiple Pokémon of the same type spawn frequently) near you.

You don’t _have_ to go outside but your best bets are to head out to local parks you know of that have lots of pokéstops or points of interest & a lot of cellular activity / people (as Niantic try to encourage trainers to get out & discover their surroundings).  
Screen shots of the Nest atlas above showing different nests in the CBD near me then one of the reported nests (Staryu).

Considering how rare Lapras is for most people, I think my 6 Laprases are the rarest collection of single 'mon that I have.

I would say Mewtwo is harder to get. Eventually you’re going to get Mew, but you’re not guaranteed an EX raid pass, or to even catch the Mewtwo if you do.

The Pokémons you encounter depend mostly on two things: the weather (not much you can do about that, just take it as it is, but braving rain or snow can yield some interesting finds) and the type of area (or “biome”) you’re in.

For areas, some variations are:  
-Water (beaches, rivers, ponds, lakes)  
-Grass (grasslands, agricultural areas)  
-Forest  
-Stone (urban areas, but also mountains)

That’s just the four most basic ones, and many blends between these exist that can give slightly different results in what Pokémons you find. Most Pokémons will still be found in areas with several roads, ideally with several pokestops as well, which are usually urban areas. But, when visiting town other than where you usually play, it’s often beneficial to just start the game and see what’s there.

Tourist traps in or near forests or mountains generally make great hunting grounds for new Pokémon. They’re generally well mapped by Ingress players, resulting in a high density of pokestops as well. Good reason to have a decent datalimit (or no limit at all!) during your holidays.
