Technically no since a few graphics files that were in 1.1.8.1 didn’t get included. It’s not necessary in that it doesn’t crash the game.

Usually you can patch up directly to 1.1.8.2 but if you want those graphics, then just download 1.1.8 and copy the graphics. The game.rgssad file in 1.1.8 isn’t necessary however the one in 1.1.8.2 is necessary to access online features.
