Pretty much. Essentially an amp helps drive your headphones which is especially important if you headphones have a high Impedance, giving them a much cleaner signal w/o distortion. When you use an amp you are getting the full benefit from the headphones. A good analogy would be using regular gas for your Ferrari instead of premium. Obviously both would work but one would give you the full benefit of having a Ferrari. Some more expensive amps also effect the headphones sonically adding more detail to the sound.
