This very much depends on what pressing the power button does.  If acpi takes 
over it will flush any write caches, drop to the appropriate run level, 
remount the fs ro and shutdown the PC.  No fsck will then be required.  On the 
other hand, if the power button shuts down the OS cold, all sort of ill side 
effects like lost data can ensue and a fsck will be required.
