Do brake rotors need to be machined every time you change the brake pads on a honday Odyssey?

For Honda vehicles, Yes. Machining rotors allow a complete level surface for the new brake pads to contact, otherwise you would experience a spongy brake pedal when applied, plus braking capacity would be greatly reduced. It is not a gimmick to get more money. Call Midas, Discount Tire Center, or America's Tire to compare what they do and price for front brakes (if it is the front you are talking about).

Yes. It does not make a difference whether is is the conventional, slotted or drilled rotors. They can all be machined in a brake lathe with the same accurate result.
How do you rotate rotors on 2000 Honda accord?
You do not rotate rotors. Replace a bad rotor or have it machined if possible. Never rotate them to another wheel location.
Bouncing or a wobble in your front end and when braking?
Probably warped brake rotors. They can be taken off and machined true or just replace with new rotors.
Your steering wheel shakes when coming to a stop?
Your front brake rotors need to be machined or replaced.

Steering wheels shakes when braking?
You need the front rotors machined or replaced.
Do new rotors need to be machined before use?
No just put them on. If they were bad they could be sued for a defective product. Actually Honda/Acura specify that NEW rotors be "refinished" with an on-car brake lathe...
Can you change brake pads with worn rotors?
If your rotors are worn you should replace those as well. Worn, warped, or glazed rotors will reduce the effectiveness of your brake pads and possible wear them down faster. As far as the possibility of doing so, sure but it's not recommended. Just to add a comment, depending on the rotor thickness, the rotor surface should be machined to remove the glaze or warpage before installing new pads. Machining of a rotor surface reduces the thickness. If a rotor surface has previously been machined the rotor may need to be replaced.

Why does a 1998 Hyundai elantra shake when you step on the gas after you slow down or stop?
When you vibrations when braking, it usually means you have warped brake rotors. A warped brake rotor's surface can become uneven after a period of extremely heavy braking or age. Consider having your disc brake system serviced, check your pads, and get the rotors machined. When rotors get machined a machine grinds them down to an even surface. Typically it cures scoring, glazing, and warping.
Why does my Kia Optima vibrate when you brake?
Brake vibration is usually caused by the brake rotors being warped. The rotors must be machined or replaced to correct the problem. if you can feel it in the steering then the drums are or rear rotor could be warped
