This is without a doubt needed. Either that or a 3rd option that is a mix of the infill/cutting meshes that allows you to amend localised wall counts on a surface without creating a boundary thats the shape of the mesh.
The below example is with cutting mesh, with a wall count reduced to 2 for the lettering, but I then get an undesired box around the mesh.
As its a wall count, using infill mesh makes no difference.
Even if you got rid of the walls, the infill "skin" pattern (typically diagonal) would not line up perfectly and there would still be a visible rectangle. This is basically impossible (or amazingly hard) to fix.
But I have a hack solution for you.
Create the "mm" logo as a separate stl and leave the part blank on the bottom. Then insert the mm logo as a "infill mesh" (actually it seems to be called "modify settings for overlaps").
This will get rid of that outer rectangle but it will probably give you more than one wall around your logo.

Cura 5.7 is here and it brings a handy new workflow improvement when using Thingiverse and Cura together, as well as additional capabilities for Method series printers, and a powerful way of sharing print settings using new printer-agnostic project files! Read on to find out about all of these improvements and more.
S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
(Sorry, was out of office when this released)
This update is for...
All UltiMaker S series
New features
Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
