At this time, PDFs do not support character tags such as <em> and <strong>,
so no, authors don't need to do anything.
They might in the future, and AT might support also them in PDFs.

Is it true that if text in a PDF is bold or italicized for emphasis, there
is nothing additional that the PDF author needs to do using Acrobat Pro? No
additional tags, attributes, etc.?
Thanks,
David
