No, that's not necessary. And since this is a pretty oft-asked question, here's a mini-tutorial about adding a Tag to Pitbull:
We'll use my tag from a couple posts up, since I know it works (the ones you quoted look like an old format):
(if (HasAura("Innervate")) then
"I":Blue
end) (if (RaidGroup = RaidGroup(unit = 'player')) then
(if (HasAura("Moonkin Aura")) then
"A":Green
else
"A":Red
end)
end) (if (((HasAura("Mark of the Wild")) and (AuraDuration("Mark of the Wild") < 300)) or ((HasAura("Gift of the Wild")) and (AuraDuration("Gift of the Wild") < 300))) then
"M":Yellow
elseif ((HasAura("Mark of the Wild")) or (HasAura("Gift of the Wild"))) then
"M":Green
else
"M":Red
end) (if ((HasAura("Thorns")) and (AuraDuration("Thorns") < 180)) then
"T":Yellow
elseif (HasAura("Thorns"))
"T":Green
else
"T":Red
end)

Open up Pitbull's config, and change your configuration mode so that it will display the frame you want. You can skip this step if you're trying to add a tag to the player frame, since it's always there. The tag above goes on the Raid frame, so I'll need to turn on Raid configuration mode.
Go to the frame in pitbull's list. If it's not enabled, go to 'Extra Units' and enable it. Click the plus next to the frame name, then click on the plus next to 'Texts'. Click 'Other', unless the text you want to edit already exists, and is enabled. If it is, click on it and skip the next step.

There should be a text box and a pull-down menu. If you want to adjust an existing text (dogtag) that is not enabled already, select it from the pull-down. If not, type the name you want to give to the tag into the text box and hit enter. All tags are available to all frames, so name it something unique. I'll go ahead and call mine 'MyBuffs'. Once you click the button, the tag should appear as a new option above 'Other' in the Texts menu.

Select the (possibly new) text you want to edit. There's a lot of options here, but we're only concerned with a few right now, since most are self-explanatory. There's a pull-down menu for style. If you've made a new text, it should read 'Custom'. If not, change it to Custom. Below that is a text box, which is where you'll enter your tag. Copy and paste it from your source. If you have no source, it's best to open the DogTag help menu using the button a few buttons down, compose it in the test box there until it works, then copy and paste it back into the text box(

Last thing to do is select where on the frame you want the tag to show. Near the top are a set of pull-down menus. One will always read 'Frame', and there will be others based on how many bars your unit frame shows (i.e. Health, Power, Reputation). Under the pull-down menu for the frame you want, select the position you want. In my case, I would choose 'Right' from the 'Health' pull-down. And now you're done =)
