Yes, you will see it sometimes, although you’d be able to get around in daily life without knowing any (although knowing some will be helpful). People do learn some 한자 in school usually, so people are able to recognize the common ones. Sometimes you’ll see it in newspapers/news broadcasts too. It’s also included in dictionaries next to Sino-Korean words to clarify their meaning.
Learning 한자 is good for improving your vocabulary comprehension because you will start to be able to guess what words mean if you know which 한자 are associated with a certain syllable. Like “가” can be 歌 (song/music), or 家 (house), or 價 (value/price), or various other things, and the more you know about these, then it helps you guess what a word with “가” in it means. But being able to read and write the 한자 itself is not really necessary for this, just knowing that they exist and which sound(s) and meanings they are associated with is enough for this purpose.
