No, the oven part isn't neccessary. I use the oven because I have a small lab oven that was easily available. I just wanted to make sure all the moisture was removed before I soldered on it. I didn't have much time to work on this.
Without compressed air or an oven it takes a little while for the moisture in the through holes to dry.
The oven had nothing to do with the tin plating.
