It is not a necessity indeed.
However, it's quite likely that other programs will need this component too over time so IMO it's better to place it in a system directory (eg. C:\WINDOWS or C:\WINDOWS\system32) and register it to allow other programs to use it too.
This will also keep you Program Files folder clean after the application is uninstalled, as the uninstaller probably won't remove the control and thus leave the program folder in Program Files.
