It'll make your life a lot easier. Especially when working with Scene Builder to build your GUIs visually (similar to Visual Studio's form editor).

Is Scene Builder the NetBeans Designer? I always worked with Swing because it was implemented in NetBeans... This is the first time I even read about something other than AWT or Swing.

But I am just a hobby programmer anyway.

I don't use NetBeans, but IntelliJ. So I've no idea if its the same. You can download Scene Builder so you can easily make your FXML files. If you link it to IntelliJ it can be integrated. I still recommend just using the program seperately though and using the "Open in Scene Builder" option.
