I was wondering if it was important to know which pronunciations of kanji were the “on” or “kun” versions. As long as you know all the pronunciations, is the distinction needed? Thanks for the help!

Do you have an example to help me out, maybe?

And I think he wants to know if it is important to know which is On and which is Kun reading, or if he can disregard which is which and just remember the readings.

Well that is if I understood what I read.
