No, they all transition to much preferring to go outdoors given the option and enough time outside to "go". When you take a young pup outside, the sounds, smells and sights are such an onslaught of over-stimulation and owners have often yelled at the dog for going indoors and made it fearful of going at all so until it is back inside and comfortable again, many times the wonders of outside and the kind of fear of going out there in front of us does keep them from even trying to go. Inside is where a young pup is "home", his things are, his and our scents are and he feels freer to go, even if he gets yelled at. But without the fear of going outside, a puppy will learn that's the natural place to go and they will work to hold it if confined and watched properly until they gain control of their bodies, are on a reliable schedule and learn that we prefer they go out there.
