Sure: it's required whenever you have LaTeX that refers to
other document elements whose positions are only known after
they've been typeset. This often comes up with bibliographies; to
quote the docstring for `org-latex-pdf-process': "The reason why
this is a list is that it usually takes several runs of
‘pdflatex’, maybe mixed with a call to ‘bibtex’."
I personally encountered it when using the tikzmark library from
the tikzpicture package to draw annotations on a table (LaTeX
needed to be run once to typeset the table & only then did it
"know" where the arrows needed to be drawn).
Oh-- and it's not just previews (sorry if I gave that
impression)-- it's also required for "evaluating" LaTeX source
blocks.
