    Yep, you'll need MPEG-2 at some point if your target is a DVD to be playable in all settop DVD players.

    <insert pandora's box (settops capable of playing divx/xvid) here>

    That said, you only want to convert to MPEG-2 once if you can help it, so if all you're doing in Premiere is editing, then using Encore to do the encoding and authoring in one, then yes, IMHO you're better off exporting back out using DV-AVI.
    If in doubt, Google it.
