Yes you will have to because if you have the Steam version then verifying the game cache doesn't add it back either. Normally that will add in any missing files.
Some people had this problem in some earlier patch. It happened to me just copied the older version copy that I have back to steam folder and verified the cache and now I have the exe's and dll's in the folder again.
