Do all BTC addresses have corresponding public/private keys?

All properly generated bitcoin addresses have a corresponding public key and a corresponding private key.

However, it is possible to generate a bitcoin address without knowing what the public key or private key is.  If you do that, then it will be impossible to determine public key or private key.
