No,
You are not required to do that. It all depends on how the machine is set
up. I can disconnect myself from internet, and everything will work as
usual. I gave him a link that explained how to add the loopback adapter, in
case it was needed.
It was not clear what the actual problem was, and since the questioner
mentioned the loopback adapter, and thought that it would help to add it, i
thought that what he really wanted help with was to install the loopback
adapter.
Here's another link that might help:

As you can see, if you have no NIC, you can have problems running IIS.
