Chapter 3 note - applying the most recent RSU/COR is included in the VM One Page Install sheet. So it should be a normal thing in a virgin install of VM for the person to use the automatic tools (SERVICE & PUT2PROD). Those steps are definitely included there and seem to be well documented for normal/basic service in the Service Guide for folks that want all the details. The only case where SERVICE would or may not be used is if the sysprog decided to futz with the PPF file(s) and changes the defaults as soon as the system was installed.
I could go on and on and on... oh look, shiny things!
