Default Is Arcing shoes necessary for brake job?

I recently had a brake job done here in California on my 1930 Town Sedan at a local shop. They turned my front drums as they were out of round but did not arc the used shoes to the newly turned drum . The car stops well with no pull either way after applying the brakes. After jacking up the car for some underneath cleaning I noticed some high spots and dragging in the front wheels as I spun them. I called the machinest and he said don't worry about it, after you drive the car for a number of miles those high spots in the shoes will bed in with the drum and go away. Is this correct? Thanks.
