do I really need the ones he put on top of the brake ?
Yes, because the bolts are at an angle to the caliper. If you didn't compensate with spherical washers under the heads, the bolt head would only make point contact at one side, and it would try to pull the caliper back into parallel with the fork mounting face, which is the thing you're trying to avoid

The mechanics fixed my front brake using some convex/concave washers, from what I understand they are needed to make the fork and the brake plane square, but do I really need the ones he put on top of the brake ?
