No it's not necessary, because scone recipes generally have a large amount of baking powder or soda, which results in a salt. The butter used in the scone recipe may also be salted. Some people add further salt as they feel it rounds out the flavour.
You use salt in baking to enhance the flavours and sweetness of other ingredients. If you're going to reduce the salt in your recipe, you need to slightly increase the amount of other spices and flavourings you use.
