Nah, CVS doesn't work that way. Multiple people can edit the file at the same time. The thing is, when you check the file in, and somebody else has made changes, you have to "merge" the file. That can be a little tricky sometimes, but it works fine.
So, basically that means you should always be carefull and check to make sure you have the most recent version of a file before you start editing it. That'll save you a lot of trouble if people are constantly working on the project.
