Most of the tutorials and doc tests are written in terms of interactive code, i.e., code that works on the SageMath command line (or notebook). In an interactive session, GF and many other things do not need to be imported. However, if one creates a Python module using Sage, everything of course needs to be imported, and also Sage's syntax such as "2^5" instead of "2**5" won't work. However, the tutorial you are mentioning explicitly is about writing files "repetition_code.py" etc, and they do *not* advise to import what is needed. I agree with you that they should.
