No it is not necessary to coat any surfaces as 6061-T6 does have a mild form of corrosion protection built in. Now it is recommended to make it a minimum to try and coat all mating surfaces. Also if you live on or near any coast, or plan on spending any amount of time near salt water then you may wish to seriously consider priming everything.
