Can I Avoid Ambushes with a High Enough Agility

This link mentions Initial Counter Value as being a sub-stat derived from the Agility Stat which determines who acts first in a battle.
I'm trying to read and understand what it's describing, but I'm just not getting it.
I see that Initial Counter Value is capped and an Agility Stat greater than 170 doesn't accomplish anything. But say that I do have an Agility Stat of 170, does this mean that I can do away with my First Strike weapon? Will I always go first even when ambushed?
