Yes, you do. Otherwise mail will not be accepted because the domain
is not known to be local.

That makes no sense. You don't have to update the LDAP records
for every user when adding a new domain, unless for some strange
reason every user needs to have an additional email address in that
domain. Generally, users don't want very many email addresses, the
more addresses, the more spam.
One of the key advantages of virtual alias (as opposed to local)
domains is that each domain has its own namespace.
