First time setup and I was wondering do you have to change this and why?

I’m not sure I understand your question? Could you rephrase and be a little more specific about the 12-Factor principles?

I am starting a Live website from scratch or at least from the directions. Often times I see changes to config files or some additional settings. Its hard to understand which is necessary and which isn’t. So that left me to ask is the change suggested in this thread needed to create a vanilla website?

It is if you want to deploy your application as an OTP release and follow the 12-Factor principles:
tldr;
The twelve-factor app stores config in environment variables.
ENVare easy to change between deploys without changing any code; unlike config files, there is little chance of them being checked into the code repo accidentally; and unlike custom config files, or other config mechanisms such as Java System Properties, they are a language- and OS-agnostic standard.
