Is it important to include the following as part of the meta tags on web pages?

No. Meta tags are all but depreciated at this point. he only common one still being used is the langauge/charset type.

FEW search engines are still "meta engines", and none of the big 3 are.

Furthermore, index,follow is the Default behavior, thus it doesn't need to be specified.

If you want to keep bots out of indexing items, look into adding a robots.txt file to your server root. A quick search for robots.txt will yield you more than enough info.
