Sure, it gives them a clearly defined system to rebel against. You set rules they break the rules. It's really up to the parent whether they want to risk making rules or not.

I am a father of 6 children (all boys, ranging from newborn - 13 yrs of age). Simplest answer is Yes! If you are going to set boundaries they need to be set as clearly & early as possible (dependent of the situation). It can get repetitive in that you have to keep telling them. Always practice what you preach. If not children will never listen to you and take you for granted. Each situation is different. Boundaries are good, but also bad. If you set to many of the wrong boundaries then your child can become rebellious. You have to sometimes let your child experience first hand the consequences. You can not always rescue your child from situation or they will always expect it. They will also never learn to make decisions for them selves. You have to learn when its time to be a parent and when its time to be there friend. Good reference is a series called Love and Logic. If you are at a store and your child is screaming for a toy or candy, do you give it to him or not? Answer is not, let him cry. If you give it to him to make him stop crying, then you can expect them to scream to get what they want.

Yes, as long as the children remain more important than the boundaries. Some people forget that.
