No, they don't. Depending on the software and filesystem type, it can autogrow the new partition.

So if you're going from a 160GB to 320GB drive, it'll clone the entire contents of the 160GB drive, but make the new partition 320GB.

Sometimes it doesn't work, and it'll make a 160GB partition on the new drive, but you could then use other software to resize the partition to 320GB afterwards.
