Yes, you will need to open up ports manually. However, you would have probably still needed to open the port as well in your firewall. Keep in mind that we are talking about incoming non-established connections. With more than one network host, you still would need to decide which host to forward to. ( Established incoming traffic is generally allowed by your NAT router and the firewall on your computer.)
Your router may be able to log the traffic. If a log shows ingress traffic for the VOIP phone, it may also list which port is used.
I just got an internet phone myself. In my case, the phone is before my router.
