That depends on the content of the articles. If the articles contain only the infobox, then no, you do not need to create a template for each entry; just a generic template for formatting the data. However, I am guessing you will have other content in the articles so the answer is most likely yes. You will need to have one template to format the data and another template for each entry. As I previously wrote, no, it doesn't matter. Just wrap the infobox in the onlyinclude tags, and only the infobox will be interpreted during transclusion. The one drawback to this is the additional markup in the articles, but you are at least avoiding creating dozens of templates with data only.
