No, the hot spots are most likely just where the sun is hitting directly, everything else is the light bouncing around. You can set your light bounces to 1 to see where they hit directly and stop.

Realism is that thing that everyone tries to achieve but is crazy hard, all the Hollywood VFX companies can vouch for that.
