OK. Now I understand what you are talking about.
Ywas you can backup those files onto the computer - if there are documents that are showing up in that window. You can simply drag the file to the desktop and it will copy to your hard drive. You can use the Save button as well and navigate to a folder where you want to copy the file.
Now - do they need to be backed up to your computer - no, it's not absolutely necessary. Those documents are stored in the iPad backup. Should you copy those files to your hard drive? IMO - it is a good idea to do so. I backup my iPad with iTunes, and with iCloud and I copy the file sharing documents to my MacBook as well. I backup the computers contents with en external drive using the Mac Time Machine application. One can never have too many backups - once again - in my opinion.
In order to see if you have any documents for those file sharing apps, you have to click on the file sharing app icon to the left of the window. If you click on the Pages app icon, the documents will then show up in the window - as long as you have been using file sharing. If you are not using file sharing - it does not happen automatically - its a good idea to start using it.
This article explains how to use file sharing.
