As long as you know the water conditions are the same between the tanks along with the temperiture then sure....skip that step. I never bother doing it when moving fish from one of my tanks to another. But I would never do it with a shipped fish or one picked up from a LFS...even if the temps are the same.
Usually yes, fish don't seem too happy when I pop em from tank to tank in a net so I at least do a quick transfer in the milk jug before I let them out. Try to keep my fish in the water as much as possible, I feel bad because it's almost analagous to someone grabbing you in a net and tossing you under water real fast, probably isn't pleasant lol.
I'll flip from tank to tank if there is a problem of some sort. I drip acclimate corals. I'll do the cup and bucket method for most fish.
Water parameters might take adjusting for the fish.
Example - Are both tanks at the same ph, ammonia, etc.?
