No, not that ONLY a Hispanic could play you, but that in a film/TV landscape where there are very few, if any, Hispanic protagonists of high-grossing projects, the fact that the man in question HAD a Hispanic side to him COULD have been used to increase visibility because the Hispanic element was already there (regardless of how much he identified with it, the reality is, it was there, so it could have been used if the director had wanted). As I said, I don't think it would have bothered Mendez if Benjamin Bratt had played him (my mistake about Banderas/Bardem, I didn't know about the English issue).

Bratt is at least a far better choice, and he can pull off the facial hair.

But ultimately, there was no obligation to do anything like that, and if you look at pictures of a young Tony Mendez, it's not like Affleck was completely implausible as him.
