Default Fridge filter question

I have a Kenmore (discovered it was made by Frigidaire when I googled Model

When you open up the fridge door, it's on the upper right. You press a
triangular tab on the corner, and the filter apparently comes out. Two
tubes in the back with O-rings, shown in the picture. So, apparently, to
change the filter, you hit the triangular tab, the filter either pops out or
you pull it out and slide in the new one.

My question: do you have to shut off the water? I read several sites, and
they had some info, but not that.

A service man once; and later SWMBO. had occasion to change filters in
the fridge here.

Not once was the water turned off...YMMV

I'm in charge of water turn off, so it would have been brought to my
attention - I hope
