No, not in my experience. 

Since Samba (in "domain" mode) will forward all authentication requests to
the PDC of the domain, it just has to join the domain (which causes the PDC
to create a machine account for the Samba server automagically).

Is this command required? its for samba acting as PDC only.

from man page :

       -m     This  option tells smbpasswd that the account being
              changed is a MACHINE  account.  Currently  this  is
              used  when  Samba  is  being  used as an NT Primary
              Domain Controller.
