Yes and no. ;) If you are getting your carb counts from an American source such as Fitday, yes, you need to subtract the fibre. But in non-North American countries (including New Zealand) the fibre is already subtracted from labels.
For example, I often use www.dietclub.com.au to get carb counts for local items, but what they call the "total" carbs, is actually the net carb count, ie they have already subtracted the fibre.

HTH :)
