No, you don't need any of those. They have been built in for a long time. Most of them in 9.11 even. Look at the startup log and it will tell you the list of built-in empty zones. You can override any of them, if you need to. For example if you have to be authoritative for 0.168.192.in-addr.arpa because you use that /24 and want PTR records, for some reason.
