You do, unless you plan to use that variable only instead of the
script, in this case, ~/.bashrc

And one thing you should consider is to use something to check if the
path has been already added. Otherwise you will end having a lot of
times that same path in your ${PATH} variable.

For example:

if [[ -n `echo $PATH | grep "/insert/your/path/here"` ]]
  then
    : # Fallback
  else
    PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
    export PATH
fi
