The whole generation of fans who have grown to love Tolkien through the films did not need The Hobbit. I'm sure many of these fans will have gone on to read LOTR as they loved the films so much, but maybe left the Hobbit until later. So, no, you do not need to read The Hobbit, but I would always advise it being any reader's first stop if possible, even before the films.
