Is the ESP needed if it exists only for the BSA?

Question

For an example Vault 22 Floral Overhaul found here https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/54472/? Has an ESP and a BSA.

 

It seems the ESP exists only to call the BSA, is that correct? If I am using MO and I have installed this mod and extracted the BSA do I still need the ESP? This question extends to any other similar mods. I realize the ESP in certain situations is needed for load order. I'm just curious how would I know if the ESP is actually needed.

 

Thank you all in advance.

But...

 

There is sometimes some minor difficulties when MO is used to handle bsas with the Fallout games. I think there may be some minor differences with the engine compared to the Skyrim engine.

I had a persistent issue with my Fallout3 setup that was rectified by disabling MO handling bsa files in Fallout3.

 

So in general, what @EssArrBee said but if you find something fishy still happening, revisit the bsa handling.
