Spam in phpBB is no different from spam in wordpress. It is going to happen and you "have" to install prevention measures. Like you cant let wordpress autoblogs live without putting prevention measures similarly you cant use phpBB without spam prevention mods.
I would really recommend going through the list of 26 mods available for spam prevention here: http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=427852
There are a lot of posts on this topic in phpbb and i would recommend going through them.
Yes, it is one of the requirements to safeguard your forum from being spammed to death.
