No, the mode-hook (in this case the SLang function html_mode_hook() is
called by the html_mode() function and allows custimisation. If you are
content with the defaults, you do not need it.

Does M-x html-mode help?

There is a coupling of file-extension and mode, normally html-mode
should be called whenever you open a file *.hmtl. Do you have a
different naming scheme?
