No, you don't.  Unpack the tar file, go into the directory and run:
make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=$PWD

You will end up with a 99xx.ko file.  Do "insmod 99xx.ko".  I can't do
that because I have secure boot enabled.  You will need to turn it off
if you do.  (Or figure out how to sign the module and register the key.)

You may be able to use a Machine Owner Key (MOK).   See
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/23/html/System_Administrators_Guide/sect-enrolling-public-key-on-target-system.html
This process worked for me in Fedora 32 and is the same for other distros.  https://wiki.debian.org/SecureBoot#MOK_-_Machine_Owner_Key
might be useful.
