Yes - that is a good idea. It's also a good idea to use a wire brush if there is a lot of corrosion on the hub. I must assume you got the caliper bolts off. It's rather hard to access the hub with the rotor in place - and you can't get the rotor off while the caliper is still on.
Do your self a favor. Get some anti-seize and use it in all the places you found corrosion where two metal parts interface. E.g between the the hub and the rotor, on your NEW caliper mounting bolts, around the pilot bore of your wheels and on the wheel studs. Don't over do it. Just enough to provide a little lubrication (long term lubrication).
