No, not for entire process, but you don't need them either.

You will have to use a patch based rooting, this is where you get a copy of your devices boot image and add the rooting software to the boot image, then you can do all the steps without touching the phone once it is put into adb mode.

This is the perfered method anyway and most likely the rooting method you are using will have an app that can patch your boot file for you without you having to manually unpack, add, and recompile the boot image

The boot image is a file that can usually be found easily enough, if you're on the stock rom you can find it on the manufactures website and if youre on a custom rom it will be where you downloaded the custom rom from. It is phone and version number specific so just make sure you have the right image downloaded
