Not necessarily, forward slashes are OK in NT:

	local fh = io.open("E:/temp/SomeTestFile.txt", "w")
	fh:write("Simple test string\n")
	fh:close()

or, if you prefer, just use long string syntax:

	local fh = io.open([[E:\temp\SomeTestFile.txt]], "w")

Ugly double backslashes are a fatality only in languages with only one 
way of writing literal strings, like C/Java...
