No, if you are already using poky, you wouldn't add openembedded-core to 
bblayers.conf and you would never add bitbake there (bitbake is the build 
tool, it's not a layer).

Most layers declare these dependencies because some users prefer to use 
separate openembedded-core and bitbake rather than the combined poky, and it 
is the established convention within the layer documentation to declare the 
separate dependencies. Perhaps we could be clearer in our documentation that 
poky can take place of those however.
