Not necessarily. I tend to hear this in movies when villains speak to the heroes in bemused surprise. It can be mocking/looking down on someone/something.

これはこれは, it’s kinda like this. It can be used in any situation really, this expression just means that the person is surprised. It can also be used sarcastically.
(Speaking to a kid) “Well, well, well. What do we have here? Why if it isn’t little Madeline? How have you been? I haven’t seen you since you were 4 years old.”
