You tell the router what routes to redistribute, rather than telling the router to redistribute everything that’s there.
There’s never a reason not to simply take the extra five seconds to type ‘/routing ospf network add network=x.x.x.x/x area=whatever’. There’s a lot of very good reasons not to, however.

How does your network know the route to a network connected to one of your routers if he does not redistribute this information into ospf?

If the /30 is not on the networks tab, then you will need to redistribute connected routes. If you add static routes pointing to places you will want to redistribute static routes as well.
