Yes, it is very important to rinse gravel before adding it to the tank to get rid of dust and debris. The tiny particles in the gravel can also just plain make a tank look bad until they have a chance to settle over a period of a few days.
A large spaghetti strainer works well to rinse gravel and remove any of the smaller particles and debris.
