No. The 'surround the parameter name with hashes / pound signs' is the rule, but as with all rules there are exceptions. Transformer derivations are one place where you don't enclose them.
If you are unsure, always best to use the 'helper' tool under the ellipses (...) whenever it is available. When you pick the appropriate Job Parameter from there, it will know if it needs to use hashes or not.![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)

The rule actually says that the exception is "in expressions".
Anywhere you need a parameter reference in a property, such as a File property, then the surrounding "#" characters are required.
