No, it is a general D&D rule:

Alignment

A cleric’s alignment must be within one step of his deity’s (that is, it may be one step away on either the lawful-chaotic axis or the good-evil axis, but not both). A cleric may not be neutral unless his deity’s alignment is also neutral.
It is an Eberron setting specific rule that that does not have to be the case. Which is why it is something that has to be specifically called out in the Eberron Campaign Setting rules.
