Default 2-cycle ring installation

I know that when new rings are installed in 4-cycle engines that it is
generally recommended that the cylinder walls be honed to remove the glaze,
so the the new rings will seat properly. Is the same true of 2-cycle
engines?

I expect it is, but I just thought I'd check.

Majority of the time. There have been a few 2 strokes that used chrome
cylinders. Those can not be bored or honed. It's unlikely that you have
one but pretty obvious when you look at them.
