No it does not. Take for example two concentric circles, one being half the radius of the other, lets say respectively 1 meter and 2 meters. You are in the center. Both expand to twice their radius (to represent the expansion of a plane that these circles are attached to) over the course of 1 second.
The edge of the smaller circle moved away from you at 1 meter per second.
The edge of the larger circle would have moved away from you at 2 meters per second.
This aligns with what Hubble observed and works for any point on this plane, its mathematically proven. Again there needs be no center, even if this plane began from a single point.
