Yes,... if you have really lost the edge, then it will take you a long time to regain it just using a stone,... even if every stroke was a good one,...so re-shaping with the file, is your better bet

If you continue to have trouble, then you could just do the one side,.... if you continue to file just one side of the axe, and do nothing more than remove the burr that's bent over the edge on the other side,...you will get a reasonable edge,... but not such a good cutting edge as if you have done bother sides
A major part of survival is invisibility.
