BGP next-hop-self,

I have the following,

AS 100
R1, R2, R3,

AS 200
R4, R5

R1-R4 is EBGP peer

R2 is setup as route-reflector for R1 and R3,

I have OSPF area 0 enable in all routes, and can reach all the interfaces.
No sync on all BGP routers

Question,
I have route 192.168.100.0/24 from R5,
All the BGP router has BGP route for 192.168.100.0
But R1 and R3 has next-hop address to R4 as best path,,
I guess this only happens in the lab, but since R1 and R3 has the path to
get back to R4 via OSPF, this work fine without putting next-hop-self
command in R1 to get back to R4,,

So If this was real lab, Do I still put "next-hop-self" on R1 even though I
have best path in the routing table?
