No, the mere presence of Wi-Fi networks doesn't determine whether your Kindle will use 3G. What matters is whether your Kindle is connected to a network that you've configured for use with your Kindle - if it is then 3G will not be used.
Here is the explanation from the Kindle User's Guide:

For Kindle models that include free 3G, connectivity to Whispernet is automatic, so if you see one of the 3G network indicators (3G, EDGE, or GPRS) in the upper right corner of your Kindle screen, your Kindle is already connected to Whispernet using 3G. Your Kindle automatically turns 3G coverage off when you connect using Wi-Fi. If you disconnect from a Wi-Fi network or if you move out of Wi-Fi range, Kindle automatically switches back to 3G coverage. If you want to turn off 3G coverage, you can turn Whispernet off. Keep in mind that turning Whispernet off also disables Wi-Fi connections.
