It is, but only the first time around. You can also buy chains that already have it removed to save you the faff. You can do it with several stages of different solvents, aid it with ultrasonic cleaner...etc.
Once your waxed chain gets dirty, you can wash it out in boiling hot water, dry it, then immersion wax again.
And as said, squirt can be used as topup.

From what little I've read on it, isn't the technique to clean the parts in an ultrasonic cleaner before waxing - always looked pretty involved to me!
