No. You only need to define rules in your code for the way you wish to test
i.e.:-

If Backtest setting is for Long then only the Long rules need to be
specified in your code.
If Backtest setting is for Short then only  Short rules need to be specified
in yur code.
If Backtest setting is for both Long and Short then both Long and Short
rules must be specified in your code.
