Heh, no, I can assure you not. I've used the keyboard with devices I've
never plugged it into, and certainly the PDA that I sync'd without
pairing before that. I'm also quite sure there's no daemon running on
my machine providing magic "pre-pairing over USB" services :)

Because, as I did in my example command for Andrew, I provided the
unique hardware address of the device in the connect command.
More advanced devices, like my smartphone for example, won't do anything
without pairing first, of course.
