No. This is clearly stated on ArM5 p.168.

There was a snafu early in ArM5, when authors and playtesters did not notice that wards (ArM5 p.114) needed to penetrate as they were written up. So they were initially balanced around not needing to penetrate. In HoH:S p.113 leftmost box you find the necessary rules clarification, embedded into the history of Columbine wards: and yes, Hermetic wards need to penetrate Magic Resistance.
Aegis of the Hearth is a verrry special ritual (ArM5 p.161 "It was a major breakthrough, incorporating Mercurian rituals as well as Hermetic theory, and was the reason Notatus was chosen to succeed Bonisagus. As a result, the spell is more powerful than it ought to be ..."). Its complex description does not refer to magical wards or warding or a need to penetrate. It is also not derived from Columbine wards or addressed by HoH:S p.113. So there is no literal (RAW) reason to apply the clarifications made after the ward snafu to it. But some players consider Aegis of the Hearth close enough to wards to be anyway treated in the same way wrt preventing creatures from entering the area it protects. This is a topic you should hence best decide with your troupe.
