Yes, but not everywhere. Note that the part you quoted references 91.215 (b), which lists all the airspace that requires use of a transponder (i.e. in class A, B and C airspace, within 30 nm of most class B airports, above 10,000 ft MSL, etc). Part (c) doesn't apply outside the airspace listed in (b) though.

If it is installed, it is supposed to be "on" according to FAR 91.215 (c)
(c) Transponder-on operation. While in the airspace as specified in
paragraph (b) of this section or in all controlled airspace, each person
operating an aircraft equipped with an operable ATC transponder maintained in
accordance with § 91.413
of this part shall operate the transponder, including Mode C equipment if
installed, and shall reply on the appropriate code or as assigned by ATC.

My
biggest complaint is (flying the L3 since 2002) frequently intruders don't
have their transponder on. When I can get them frequently on unicom and ask
they say it is not necessary out side of the 30 mile
