Absolutely not, the rules are used automatically!  See
http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/RuleUpdates for more info.

They are used automatically by the "spamassassin" and "spamd" scripts, yes.

They are not used automatically by software using Mail::SpamAssassin unless the 
software specifies the LOCAL_STATE_DIR parameter correctly              when 
constructing a Mail::SpamAssassin object.

Since that parameter is new and not mentioned in any documentation (AFAICS), 
and the path it is hardcoded to by the SpamAssassin isntall scripts is not 
avaiable in any standardized way, it is very probable that a bunch of software 
does not automatically use the updated rules.

I think the beta of the next version of MIMEDefang do find the updates as long 
as the LOCAL_STATE_DIR is '/var/lib'.
