Hello,
Yes. Emergency contraceptive pills only protect against pregnancy when you take them after sex and that too within 72 hrs.
If you had taken postinor-2 within 72 hrs of unprotected sex then there are 50-90% chances of not being pregnant.
But you can still get pregnant if you take emergency contraception and then have sex again without using another kind of contraception.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
