I'm not sure how necessary it is but when I worked for the  Ford dealer  (85-91) they told us that was the procedure to follow .
I  say it certainly wouldn't hurt .

I agree It cant hurt.  I always pre fill my new oil filter though.

wont hurt but its really not needed. not something I do when changing my own oil, or anyone elses for that matter.
