Yes and no. You don't need even 16 bits for *storing* the recording of your vinyl, but 24 bits (well, maybe 20 in reality) gives you some extra dynamic range in case you get the levels wrong - once you have the recording on the computer, you can normalize the gain and it will easily fit in 16 bits.
