Do I need to apply Nginx rules separately?

hello. I’m running a WordPress website on Ubuntu + Php-fpm + Nginx + Mariadb environment.

Recently, I was looking up about the usage of W3 cache and came across the following code in this post.

#W3 TOTAL CACHE CHECK
set $cache_uri $request_uri;

# POST requests and urls with a query string should always go to PHP
if ($request_method = POST) {
    set $cache_uri 'null cache';
}
if ($query_string != "") {
    set $cache_uri 'null cache';
}

# Don't cache uris containing the following segments
if ($request_uri ~* "(/wp-admin/|/xmlrpc.php|/wp-(app|cron|login|register|mail).php|wp-.*.php|/feed/|index.php|wp-comments-popup.php|wp-links-opml.php|wp-locations.php|sitemap(_index)?.xml|[a-z0-9_-]+-sitemap([0-9]+)?.xml)") {
    set $cache_uri 'null cache';
}

# Don't use the cache for logged in users or recent commenters
if ($http_cookie ~* "comment_author|wordpress_[a-f0-9]+|wp-postpass|wordpress_logged_in") {
    set $cache_uri 'null cache';
}
#ADD mobile rules from WP SUPER CACHE section above

#APPEND A CODE BLOCK FROM BELOW...


location / {
    try_files /wp-content/w3tc-$host/pgcache/$cache_uri/_index.html $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
}

The nginx rule that appears when installing W3 total cache does not include this code, but is it good to apply it together?

And I do all my browser caching configuration in Nginx + Brotil, Can I omit the # BEGIN W3TC Browser Cache rule in this case?

Or do I need to add the following rule to my setup?

etag on;     
if_modified_since exact;     
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args; 

Thank you.
