These days it would be unusual to find a pilot light water heater in a travel trailer, even a small one, but if this really is an SW6P then it indeed is a pilot light model and must be lit as you describe. FWIW, no water heater should be operated unless it's first been filled with water, 'though the greatest risk of burning out the electric heating element you wouldn't have to worry about anyway as an SW6P doesn't have one.
