Nope, no need to do route redistribution. The default-information originate should meet your needs, assuming we understand your needs correctly. The default-information originate is sort of a specialized alternative to redistribution, from what I understand. Chuck will correct me if I'm wrong! :-) The command means that the ASBR can inject into the OSFP domain a static route or a route discovered by some other routing process, so that routers in your OSPF domain can take advantage of the ASBR as the gateway to the rest of world, so to speak. The "always" keyword means that the ASBR will always advertise a default route into the OSPF domain, even if from the ASBR's point of view, the route is flapping. This avoids the ASBR continually sending new type 5 LSAs into the OSPF domain. It just keeps things nice and clean. But.... if you happen to have lots of ASBRs injecting a default route, then don't use the always keyword. In this case you want the OSPF domain to have dynamic, recently updated info about which defaults are working. At this point, we have only addressed routers in the OSPF domain obtainin a default route to get out of the OSPF domain through the ASBR to the Internet. How traffic gets back in is a more advanced...
