Every valid C++ program has at least one function - the main() function?

Yes. It's the core code of the program and it has to have a return value. I'ts like a car can't be a car without engine, or wheels.

Technically compilers do provide some options to define a custom main function. Some engines and API's actually use this feature, for instance C/C++ programs that use the Windows API usually define WinMain as the entry point. Functionally there's no difference though. Every program needs an entry point (unless it's a library) and that entry function needs to have certain optional arguments depending on platform.
