Do I need to know java to make ios games?

I am learning Swift so I can make ios apps, but I want to make game apps. Would I need to learn java too? I have always assumed that the really big a successful ios games are java applications, to where as the actual ios app is just a gate to the java application. Is this even remotly correct?
