Is it a must to replace brake pads while changing brake rotors?

Not a "must", but don't know why you wouldn't while you are in there. I would assume, that the rotors and pads have the same miles on them.

I agree. Usually I would but if I happened to have newish pads I would not hesitate to use them.

However, if you are replacing severely warped rotors or ones with an uneven surface pattern, it has probably translated the same wear patterns on the pads. I would replace under those conditions. Seems like a waste to NOT do pads considering the effort required to remove the calipers and rotors.
