Only the rules? RewriteCond applies a rewrite rule conditionally, so it shouldn't be needed if you want to apply it to all requests. That doesn't mean all requests will be rewritten of course, only the ones that match it. A RewriteCond lets you condition on things beyond just the URL. Without actually checking the doc, I /think/ you can use it to match against Mime-Type like I hinted at above. This would be useful if you want to match images that don't end in a normal image file extension, but it's going to place additional load on your server because it would need to go a subrequest for each request to see what the mime-type is. And actually in your case, since there's no server back there to actually check against, it won't do you any good. So short answer, "No, you don't need a RewriteCond for this to work."
