Depends really on what kind of rock you are talking about. Generally yes it is necessary as it asct as bio filter, it houses bacteria that keep your tank stable, it provides hiding spots for fish, houses various pods that are food for your fish and so on.

i mean they help unless you are running some sort of bio media in a sump but not only for beneficial bacteria but also all the life that lives in the rocks pods micro brittle stars feather dusters

IMO the amount of rocks recommended or required now is different (less) than 10 years ago.
Other forms of bio media (blocks, reactors) have changed things. I plan on using a lot less rocks (for simplistic aquascape) on my next 200+ gallon tank than I had in my old 180 gallon.

I honestly have no idea. My initial guess would be maybe. If is it made of plastic for example, then it would not work, as it is solid and bacteria wont really have where to populate. If it is porous, then it could possibly maybe work.
If you like that you could build pretty much same thing with Two Little Fishes Stax Rocks, and you get real rocks that will do what they are meant to do. Of course cost would be higher, as it is real rock.

Show Me Your STAX ROCKS Aquascape!!!
Hey everyone, I am looking to improve my aquascape and I am looking to use Stax Rocks from Two Little Fishies. It is my hope to place coral (especially SPS) on various levels of the stacked rock and create cool overhangs and caves instead just a pile of rocks with coral only across the top. This...

Was just checking the label and it says: top fin(which is the brand name)I honestly have no idea. My initial guess would be maybe.
