No. Your upload processing code should be in a plugin so it can take
advantage of WP API functions.
I usually hook into init:
add_action('init','upload_handler_function');
function upload_handler_function()
{
// check for your form being submitted (via hidden field) and
validate the nonce
// then process the rest with the media_* api functions or whatever
}
