It doesn't have to be.

Black box testing has no knowledge of system internals: it just tests functionality.

Regression testing checks if previously working functionality is broken in a new release.

A "regression test" could use either "white box" (we "know" the internals) or "black box" (we're testing only the visible functionality) approaches. Or any combination of the two approaches.
