No. The firmware-extractor binary will create speedtch-1.bin and speedtch-2.bin
for you. If you've unzipped the KQD6_3.012 you should use the
firmware-extractor to split it with the command
./firmware-extractor KQD6_3.012

Yes, the quotes are essential. So are the spaces.

If you didn't extract the firmware the modem won't work.

That won't solve the problem of extracting the firmware.

If you've not installed the firmware all you've done is create four plain text
files and two symbolic links. If you want, you can delete them with
sudo rm -f /etc/ppp/{chap-secrets,pap-secrets,peers/speedtch}
sudo rm -f /etc/init.d/dial
sudo rm -f /etc/rc2.d/S95dial
sudo rm -f /etc/resolv.conf
Personally I don't think you should delete them. If you think you've made a
mistake somewhere, open the file in a text editor and check you work.
