No, you do not have to login to youtube, nor even visit their
youtube/html5 page to set the cookie. The current version of torbrowser
enables html5 video on youtube by default. Tails uses a greasemonkey
script to achieve the same goal.

There are many videos which are flash-only, mostly they seem to be the
videos with ads injected into the video stream. I have seen some html5
videos with advertising overlays, but the video plays fine in TBB and
Tails.
