Yes. The first time I tried to run locate on Lion it prompted me to run the command you mention.

One thing I should add, locate is driven from the locatedb which needs to be periodically updated. Apparently this maintenance has been removed from the scripts that it ran in prior to 10.6, you may need to enable it like this sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.locate.plist osxdaily.com/2011/11/02/…

+1 Thanks. I knew about find but not the locate command.
