Lens Correction Panel in Lightroom

A question for the Lightroom Gurus.
I am using Lightroom 7.4 Classic. I shot a photo with my Olympus E-M1-Mark II using an Olympus M 12-40mm F2.8 lens.
When I go to the Lightroom Lens Correction Panel and attempt to apply some lens correction there is an (i) with a note at the bottom of the Profile box. It says Built in Lens Profile Applied. If I click on the (i) it brings up an Info box that gives me the name of the camera and lens used along with a note: This raw file contains a built-in lens profile for correcting distortion and chromatic aberration. The profile has already been applied automatically to this image.
I use to shoot with Canon equipment and the Lens Correction Panel would show the lens I was using and I could Enable Profile Corrections and Chromatic Aberration as needed. The Correction Panel would indicate which lens I used, etc.
So the question is this: With the Olympus lens and camera and the (i) note as stated above, do I really need to worry about checking the boxes in the Lens Correction Panel for the "Remove Chromatic Aberration" and " Enable Profile Corrections" or apply any other Lens Corrections? Looks like to me that Olympus has the "cat by the tail" and and has built this all into the metadata of each image. Or could it be that Lightroom just has not included any of the Olympus lenses in their lens profiles?
When I click on the two mentioned boxes the lens profile "Make" box indicates "Built-in" and none of the Olympus lenses listed if I expand the Lens Profile list.

That means the firmware in your camera includes a built in profile, so don't worry about it. Fuji and Sony, in my experience, also provide built in profiles.

Some of my Sony's have built-in profiles and Lightroom can't correct a second time. With other cameras, I often apply a user preset that applies lens corrections while importing.That means the firmware in your camera includes a built in profile, so don't worry about it.

Part of the M4/3 system is having the lens profiles built in. Panasonic is the same.
