Hairball paste is not necessary for hamsters, and skipping it causes no harm. Long-haired breeds may get a little hamster-specific paste, but never cat or other pet paste, which can cause soft stool or diarrhea.
In short, it is optional; if the hamster shows no problem, do not feed it, and do not use it too often.
