Not necessarily. It's wise to create a flight square for your castled king. Moving the pawn two spaces is less common but not always wrong, for example it might be controlling an important hopping square for the enemy knight, or looking to weaken the pawn structure of the opponent. Not an expert, just a guy that likes chess and watches chess videos.
Alright, I think from hearing this I am a more experienced player than you. No offense, maybe I'm wrong.
Moving one of your King's castle pawns is done more often than not. It's quite a common move to see across a large amount of professional chess games. It protects against a smothered rate but also, a back-rank mate. It gives your King an option of an escape square somewhere down the line.
Not every single move in chess always comes with an immediate threat. There is such a thing as a "waiting move." There are instances in a chess game where it's advantageous to delay making decisions and bait your opponent to do so first.
Moving the pawn two squares is less common, and could've been a mistake. However, there are instances where I've seen top players make this move. Usually it's to protect an important square, or to make an aggressive pawn push. I just recently watched a Magnus Carlson game where he made a very similar attack, pushing his H pawn to damage the enemies pawn structure.
