You really should read all of the messages already sent in reply to this topic. Jeff outlined everything nicely earlier. The main point is that when you register your server, you're simply registering it with Valve. The quickplay traffic is just a perk and you can even use a cvar to disable it if you don't want it. None of the servers I help run are vanilla, but we registered them months ago anyways without issue.
To answer your question: you do. When you run the command on your tf2 client to create a gameserver identity, you take the lines it outputs and put them in your server.cfg file. Without those two lines, your server won't be considered registered.
