It depends on what your intent is for a "jailbroken" device.
If your intent is to pirate software, it is possible to do this without being "jailbroken."
If your intent is to use your android device on a different carrier, it is not necessary to "jailbreak" your android device.
If your intent is to use a customized rom, then "jailbreaking" your device will be necessary.
If your intent is to customize or use themes on your device, beyond what your carrier intended, then yes, you will need to "jailbreak" your device.
My advice is to not "jailbreak" your device, just because your friends have "jailbroken" their devices.
My other advice is to read the FAQ, and the other "stickied" topics in the EVO 4G forum, and other forums that you visit.
Do you know what "Jailbreaking" means?
The closest thing to "Jailbreaking" the EVO 4G is "Rooting" your phone.
