Yes. The exact combination of the recovery seed and the passphrase that you set are required in order to successfully restore the wallet and its addresses. The seed without the passphrase/with a different passphrase (as ABC Bits mentioned) will result in a different wallet being restored.

If you carefully and securely store the seed and your set passphrase, you should be able to restore it at any time in the future.

So, you created a wallet with a mnemonic passphrase without really knowing how it works (or vague understanding)?

There is nothing wrong with giving things a try and learning through experience before going into something seriously. I think if that OP gave it a try/dry run (with no/very little bitcoin involved) then came here to ask a question, there is nothing wrong with that.
