No. It's about GM-norms. It helps if the player is 2400 because those norms are against extremely difficult players, but there are many GMs below the rating of 2400.

Yes, there are the norms, but also there is another condition: your rating has to be 2500 at some point.

2400 is the IM level.

The 2500+ rating and GM-norms is the common way to become a GM, but it is not the only way. For instance, 2300+ and winning the Winning the World Junior Championship (U20) gives you the GM title, as does 2300+ rating and Reaching the final 16 in the FIDE World Cup. There's other ways too.
