Please read again carefully the original poster's question. He was
asking whether a domain having an MX record needs an additional A
record. The answer to that question is: it doesn't.
If you have
example.com. MX 10 mail.example.com.
then you do not need
example.com. A 192.168.1.1
You need, however,
mail.example.com. A 192.168.2.1
and this RR MUST NOT be a CNAME.
Sorry for any confusion this may have caused...
