Well it appears that you do as well.

If you dont fill the edges with filling type paint you wont get a decent finish without a crapload of coats.
If the above is good enough for the pros, (and they are in business so they dont waste time and money if it isn't necessary), then I would figure it would be fair to assume that it's the right way to proceed.
I suppose you would recommend PVA glue on melamine as well.....

steady on chaps.
1 edge filling.
IMHO bogging up edges on chip or MDF is not the easiest or best way to go. Far better to use a sanding sealer or high build primer & sand a couple of times. You will end up with a harder more durable edge.
2 paint sticking to melemine.
Not all paints will stick to melamine. BUT lots of stuff will, particularly if you do "some preparation".
There are plenty of people who will sell you all sorts of stuff to do all sorts of things. That doesn't mean there aren't other ways that work.

Most powertools have sharp teeth.
People are made of meat.
Abrasives can be just as dangerous as a blade.....and 10 times more painfull.
