No.

This is the standard SNMP mechanism for creating new rows in a table,
and deleting existing ones.   So if you will be supporting the creation and
deletion of rows via SNMP, then you should strongly consider including
a RowStatus column.   But it's not compulsory.
   If new rows are created "automatically" (or by the actions of some
underlying subsystem) then it's not always necessary to support
SNMP-based row creation.

And in some cases, it may be sensible to use a MIB-specific way
to delete existing rows.  (e.g TCP-MIB::tcpConnectionState and
the value deleteTCB)

But in general, if you will be supporting the creation/deletion of
rows via SNMP, then you should start by thinking in terms of
RowStatus, and only use other approaches if there is a good
reason to.
