Depends. Those modules are installed in a root owned directory, and the 
bytecode cache will get created only if you run (import is enough as you 
say) those modules as root, because the cache is written in the module 
package directory.

So pre-packaging the bytecode is a form of optimization, as the bytecode 
will be there when you run it as an unprivileged user.
