Yes, a new SRS Unit (the module located in the center console below the radio) needs to be programmed prior to use. It's VIN based.
If you've been in a crash and the SRS Unit has 'hard codes' stored but isn't physically damaged, it can be reset and it'll be as good as new. This is done for a fraction of the cost of a new SRS Unit plus the cost of programming.
I haven't used this companies services myself but my son and my brother have. myairbags.com

The airbag itself (in the steering wheel) does not need programming according to the 2008-2008 service manual. It just says to make sure the SRS light goes on and off after re-connection. I would check with the dealer if you are uneasy about any SRS work.
