Bridging is not a requirement.

However many uses typically use bridging to build bigger
networks. They bridge bat0 with eth0 to form one big layer 2 network.

However you don't have to do this. I've run OSPF on the bat0 interface
and just routed traffic over it just like any other network link in
the network.
