Yes it is. It's really simple. Just put some hose coming from each port back into the cylinder it came from, fill with brake fluid and pump until all of the air is out.

From what I've read it's not 100% necessary but it makes it a lot easier later.

What you read and experiencing something for yourself are totally different. If you have no experience with it why give your opinion? It makes a huge difference. Having even a little air in the master cylinder is detrimental. It leads to leaking seals and spongy brake pedals. Not very good things. Do it right the first time. We're talking about brakes here, the lil things on a car that can save your life. You don't bolt down seat belts with just any old bolts do you?
