Prefix vs Nonprefix in Multicolumn Layout

If I were to use the -webkit- prefix for multicolumn layout would I also need to include the same code without the prefix to allow for supported browsers to understand or would the non prefix browser still be able to read the code with the webkit? additionally would I need to put additional lines of code in for -moz- fixes.

in the end would I need three lines of code for every one rule i type?

The example on css3please.com uses the following syntax ...

  -webkit-column-count: 2;  -webkit-column-gap: 15px;
     -moz-column-count: 2;     -moz-column-gap: 15px;
          column-count: 2;          column-gap: 15px;

Of course, you use prefix free polyfill to solve this for you.
