To be pedantic, you don't have to, but that is the easiest way to do it,
if you want the install routine to be able to automatically set things
up for you.

You can simply re-install the GRUB bootloader to the MBR, to let GRUB
handle booting (giving you a choice of which OS to boot).

Alternatively, if you're forever re-installing Windows, you could copy
the GRUB bootblock to a file inside the Windows partition, and use the
Windows boot manager to select which OS to boot.  You wouldn't have to
keep on fixing up the GRUB MBR, that way.
