No, it is not in the standard that any aspect/impact that has a legal requirement is automatically significant.
Please check this picture:
If an environmental aspect has compliance obligations and they do not comply the aspect is significant, but if they are satisfied then it is up to your evaluation criteria to determine if they are or not significant.
