Yes, you definitely need it. You should re-calibrate ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) every time you replace your windshield.

If you install a windshield, it might not follow the same exact arrangement as the genuine producer. Therefore, it might require a marginal re-calibration for the ADAS to work correctly. A misaligned camera will hammer the working of the ADAS and cause a serious mishap on the road.

Besides re-calibrating the windshield after replacement, you must also re-calibrate it following a fault code, disconnect, or an alteration in suspension and wheel alignment.

There are two kinds of calibration methods for windshield cameras: Static and Dynamic. Some automakers ask for either static or dynamic calibration, while others want you to have both. 

In a Static re-calibration, the technician works in a controlled setting and mounts a particular image on a fixture in front of the car. The expert arranges the target and the vehicle particulars and then connects and reprograms the camera. He then test-drives the vehicle to make sure the re-calibration is accurate.

During the Dynamic re-calibration, the technician drives the car at a fixed speed on a marked path. This process is lengthy and might take an hour or more, depending on your vehicle brand and model.
