In biology, there is at least one exception for every rule, so right
off the bat I can say "No" with great confidence.

My knowledge of G proteins is a bit rusty, so I did a very quick
survey and reached the opinion that most (but not all) G proteins are
NOT ADP-ribosylated under normal circumstances, but most (or even all)
MAY be ADP-ribosylated by toxins such as pertussis and cholera toxin.

I agree with xarqi's comment, but want to clarify that cholera,
pertussis, and many other's are specific in which G protein they
ribosylate.  For example, Cholera only ribosylates Gsa.  If you are
looking for G-proteins that don't get ribosylated I would start with
those in the eye (Go I believe) that associate with rhodopsin
