Ideally the adapts would benefit from being reset after you change the fluid, but it's by no means mandatory; even then, you could flush the fluid then take it to a dealer (or anyone with Vida or VOL-FCR) to have the adapts reset. There is also a method to reset the adapts without Vida on some models, have a search around the forum for talk of doing it.
The method they are advocating (sometimes called the drain and fill method) is a good one if the fluid is particularly nasty, old or the car is ultra high mileage. If none of those apply, you can use the flush method, whereby the torque converter fluid is flushed out at the same time.
