No. Every contract is different.
I believe for some players, they give the team the list on July 1 and it's locked-in for the season until July 1 the following year. I believe most contracts are written like that, but not all.
For some players, it's an on-demand list. The player doesn't need to provide it until/unless the team asks for it.
Some players have other dates on which the list is due. Some have until the start of the regular season, others can wait until closer to the trade deadline.
* All this is based on comments I've seen from players/agents/GMs over the years.
At the very least, the lists can be updated annually (most on July 1). None are locked-in at the time of signing.
