Definitely iron the fabric, but DO NOT use steam. Steam allows the fabric to stretch a little and may knock the pattern out of line just enough to make it impossible to line it up. DO use starch, tho.

I washed and ironed all my fabric before cutting my one block wonder because I hadn't been told not to and I hadn't read the directions first - oops. I used pins to line up the pattern, and my cutting was quite accurate. The blocks are turning out beautifully.

Looks like you've got your answer. Just to add my two cents worth, I always spritz with starch and iron my fabric. It is smooth and easy to work with and no wrinkles to mess up my cuts. I can do that all by myself.
