New Chain - lube it?

I finally broke down and replaced my old uniglide chain. I got a SRAM PA-850, which works quite well with my shimano Dura-Ace 7400 6 speed drivetrain. The "power link" is a great idea and I like it.

Anyway, the chain seems to be well lubed from the factory...but the instructions indicate I should lube it regularly (duh)...but what's not clear is if I need to lube it initially. I suspect I don't have to, as it shifts well and runs smoothly and silently.

So am I correct that I don't need to add any lubricant for the time being?
