You are right. 'protocol device' is necessary in almost every case. I
guess there is one case where it is not needed - regular (multihop)
IBGP-only route reflector. But in your case you have option
'direct', so your IBGP sessions are single-hop and wait for interface
with proper prefix to appear.

You are right, this should be emphasized in the manual.
