For the most part yes. I think the boss is critical in showing recognition but we as colleagues also learn where each other's strengths are through ourself but also our boss. That is something that I think helps us as a team immensely.

First up I do feel recognized.

What happens at my workplace is: we have a weekly status meeting and as annoying as it can be to listen to the same stories over and over my boss takes notice what we can easily achieve and where we struggle. Then when one hits a roadblock our boss asks the person if they want or need help and when help is wished for or the time pressure to ship a feature is too imminent he assigns a person to help. That person almost always is the perfect one for the task at hand.

And that is something I find very rewarding and definetly makes me feel recognized for my skills.
