It differs per community. Some of the more hype-y conferences I've submitted to require at least one co-author to review other papers as a condition to submission. I've not seen this at less hyped conferences or journals yet, though. But different communities tend to do things very differently, so many people will have different experiences.
Good point, I'll moderate myself and just state that I've never experienced it being a hard requirement in my field.
