Don't listen to scotto here, since he obviously doesn't know anything about filters or intakes at all.
The bypass valve is crap, it only works if the filter is completely submerged in water. So if you drive into a 24" puddle, you might need it. Of course, at that depth, you have other things to worry about.
All air filter (cone style) should be oiled before you put them on the car. The oil prevents water from entering the filter. So your filter doesn't "breathe in some major water" or whatever he was talking about.
