是的,some day 通常只指将来,即只用于将来时态。如:

They say they’ll stop dieting some day, but not right now. 他们说将来某一天他们将停止节食,但不是现在。
Perhaps some day it will be pleasant to look back on these things. 可能将来有一天我们回顾这些事时会感到愉快的。
有时虽然不是将来时态,但句子意思表示的是将来意义。如:
I hope we meet again some day. 希望我们将来有一天再见面。
I want to get married some day. But before that, I want to travel. 总有一天我要结婚。但在那之前,我要旅游。
另外,在特定语境中some day有时可指过去将来或虚拟语气。如:
I never realized that some day I would be living in China. 我从未想到将来有一天会在中国居住。
If he had lived, some day Michael would have done something important. 假定麦克尔当时在世的话,他本可做出了不起的事。
