You'll notice that each user on yoursystemhas his/her owncopy of these files. Those are the registry files pertaining to your user account. So yes, you do need them.

Single user or multiple users doesn't make much difference. Every user has their own copies of the NTUSER.DAT files.

Glad I could clear that up for you.
