I don't know if that will be enough, I haven't downloaded the updater, nor
will I. Apple may well expect everyone to buy the OS 8.1 updater, however
I'd heard that it was a *free* update, but I doubt that includes a the CD
version.

Not everyone will want, or need, the HFS+ facility, but you will have to
have a hard copy of OS 8.1 somewhere so that you can boot / load from it.
You can not format a disk and then reformat it when it is active.
