Absolutely correct: you still NEED to roll die, which is important because certain effects automatically trigger off of die rolls - such as critical effects where you discard the card after the next opportunity to roll attack die. So in practice Blount essentially ignores the die results for certain on-hit upgrades, but in gameplay he still needs to roll.

Playing casually, though, you would probably be inclined to not bother rolling when using on-hit attacks UNLESS you know some effect is dependent on the action of rolling die, regardless of their outcome.
