Well I think one could argue it was important to show it in that not only was she raped but she was raped as a virgin on her wedding night which I assume would be even more horrific for a woman. Pair that with all the dreams and hopes she had of her wedding night with Joffery and how far that's fallen for her really drives it home. I think it really helps establish how driven she is to get away to the point she'd even Thelma and Louise it with Theon.
