Probably.

Yes.  If you're not using your own table then you need to load all the 
cell values into the grid's built-in table.  The grid class has a 
SetCellValue(row, col, value) method.

On the other hand, if you use your own table then you don't need to 
preload all the data into the grid.  Instead you just have it in 
whatever Python data structure makes sense to you and then provide it to 
the grid as it asks for the data values (as it needs them for display, 
loading into a cell editor, etc.)
