Outside of the 'aviation first world' where each runway has an ILS, for example in the Middle East, it is still very possible that you will have to fly an actual NDB or VOR approach - whether you will actually fly the needle or let LNAV do the work and monitor the approach conventionally depends on the operator and certification though. I flew to two airports recently that didnt have any kind of straight-in instrument approach but merely VOR or NDB based letdown procedures - always good fun (in nice weather )
