Yes, Graeme, if you see in the bottom left pane of JOSM's relation editing 
window "incomplete" as some of the members of the relation, you should click 
one of the two bottommost buttons along the left edge of this window:  either 
"download all incomplete members" or "only download the selected ones" (in the 
left-half of the bottom of the window).  The icons should make clear which is 
which (or will with practice).

If you aren't going to "work with" (edit) or upload that relation, this isn't 
strictly required, but only seeing / having in your JOSM edit buffer some of 
the pieces of a relation (of any type) can cause some rather undefined 
behavior.  It takes practice to see this and know what to do with situations 
like this, but you get the hang of it after working with relations whether you 
do or don't need to download any additional members.  Basically, if you are 
editing that relation, absolutely, you should download all members.  If you are 
simply taking a look, not so much.
