It's not needed if buying ebooks from Kobo shop. The ADE isn't absolutely needed either though is the official way to put epubs with DRM on your Kobo.
Firmware can be downloaded here (which uses links to Kobo)

As I already explained it is needed to put DRMed Kobo Books on an original Kobo. Well I guess ADE can be used too, but that won't get the KePub. The original Kobo doesn't have WiFi at all.
pgaskin also doesn't have the firmware updates for the first two Kobo models. And there were at least some.
