Probably, because what you showed doesn't include any line permitting
external connections; but that's not your problem yet. "Connection
refused" is a network-level error: your connection is never getting to the
Postgres server. Double-check addresses, check network connectivity,
check firewall settings. My first bet is you need to poke a hole in the
server machine's firewall --- see iptables or local equivalent. Another
possibility is that the server's listen_addresses setting only tells it
to listen for local TCP connections not remote ones. You typically want
listen_addresses set to "*" if you intend to allow remote connections.

When you start getting complaints phrased along the lines of "no
pg_hba.conf entry" then it'll be time to fix pg_hba.conf.
