Yes you do, as it should not reflect point release version anymore.
/usr/share/doc/base-files/changelog.gz says:
base-files (10.3+deb10u1) buster; urgency=medium
* Change /etc/debian_version to 10.1, for Debian 10.1 point release.

...
base-files (10.2) unstable; urgency=medium
* Release candidate for buster as stable:
- Use "10" as version in /etc/issue and /etc/issue.net.
(never expected to change after buster is released)
- Use 10.0 as version in /etc/debian_version.
(expected to change at every point release)
- Change PRETTY_NAME in /usr/lib/os-release, adding 10 as version number
and "(buster)" as codename. Add also VERSION_ID and VERSION.
(never expected to change)

So, "cat /etc/debian_version" will show you the release version for
real, and you might as well uninstall this useless "lsb_release" thing -
Debian is not LSB-conformant anymore anyway.
