Yes, it's needed to enable the L2 cache built-in to the NuPowr 183mhz upgrade. For the L2-cache-less models it does nothing and is not needed.
Therefore the answers to your subsequent questions are no, no and no. Newer also distributed an extension for the NuPowr 500 upgrade whose only apparent function is to ensure Apple System Profiler reports the processor speed correctly. Without said extension ASP usually incorrectly reported the 167mhz processor as a 117 or 133mhz. You can imagine the PITA that caused Newer, having to explain why a _very_expensive_ 167mhz upgrade only showed up as a 117! (Truly a 167 runs at 167 with or without the extension, whether or not so reported by ASP.)
