How to determine the introduction of program accounts?

[lantianlaoli]

#[account(
        init,
        payer = payer,
        associated_token::authority = challenge,
        associated_token::mint = mint,
        token::token_program = token_program
    )]
    pub challenge_vault: Box<InterfaceAccount<'info, TokenAccount>>,
    /// CHECK:
    #[account(
        mut,
        seeds = [
            METADATA_SEED.as_bytes(),
            metadata_program.key().as_ref(),
            mint.key().as_ref(),
        ],
        bump
    )]
    pub metadata: UncheckedAccount<'info>,
    #[account(mut)]
    pub payer: Signer<'info>,
    pub rent: Sysvar<'info, Rent>,
    pub metadata_program: Program<'info, MetadataProgram>,
    pub associated_token_program: Program<'info, AssociatedToken>,

if I just use associated_token::authority on the constraints on accounts, Does need to lead into the associated_token_program ?
