Is this absolutely necessary learn OOJS to code become a good JS programmer ? I am planning to learn Node.JS and React JS ( yes I know its just a DOM manipulator).

OOJS is still just JS, it's just a concept of structuring and organizing your code into a way that makes it readable, maintainable, and less cluttered. That in and of itself can make it important, especially as projects grow in size and complexity. But JS is still just JS
And React is so much more than a dom manipulator, that's jquery. React is a full featured template and component rendering engine.
