Yes, you are supposed to lube stuff. At the very least free up the slide pins and lube them up good. I used to not do this and when the pins stick you get uneven brake wear (inside pad wears out, while the outside pad doesn't wear much), and it wears on your rotors more (not really much of an issue if you are replacing them all the time anyway, but I don't). Also lube where the pad backing pads touch other pieces of metal. That prevents the pads from sticking. There are lots of YouTube videos on this, watch a few.
