No, the keyboard will require that automatically.

The problem is that the keyboards I have seen so far require that you
input the PIN on the keyboard first and then you will be prompted to
second this on the desktop PC.
So what might happen at your side now is that the keyboard is waiting
for the PIN to be input.
Maybe try again and try to connect to the keyboard using hidd then type
in a PIN code on the keyboard and press ENTER. If you are lucky the
dialog the pops up.

In Debian it is a seperate package but it belongs to the BlueZ project.
