Correct. You can stick gas in a canister, and increase the pressure as much as you like. Eventually the canister will break. If that cracking produces sparks, then you'd better be out of the way.
Fire (and therefore explosions) need 3 things:
Heat
Fuel
Oxygen
I find the last one of those interesting in the big bang theory. Oxygen must of existed in space for there to be an "explosion."
