No you don't. Please have a look at the documentation.
The action "name" is a shortcut for add mkgmap:label:1. So you add the 
tag mkgmap:label:1. The name tag is unchanged.

To be precise you set the third label (mkgmap:label:3). As long as the 
second label (mkgmap:label:2) is not set this will be changed to the 
second label.

The fourth line is executed only if the first label mkgmap:label:1 is 
not already set because it is a shortcut for:
name=* { add mkgmap:label:1 '${name}' }

As Thorsten already mentioned it depends on the device which labels are 
displayed.
