Not necessarily. But it should be held to be possible.

EDIT:
The definition you gave is not correct.
Here's Merriam Webster's defintion of subjective:
: arising from conditions within the brain or sense organs (or mind -My edit.) and not directly caused by external stimuli. |
I don't think I gave a definition, but that sounds close to how I see it. Subjective simply deals with the subject (the mind of the observer) and objective with the object (the stimulus.) Just because your perceptions may not be "directly caused by external stimuli" does not mean that there is no connection between external objects and your awareness of them. Not to mention that the brain and sense organs are themselves physical objects, so your awareness resulting from them is awareness of an object.
