You don't have to run in the lane BUT if you're out of it AND interfere with the fielder taking the throw then you're out. Given that 98% of the time there is no possible issue, it doesn't really matter much. For the other 2%, the catchers and coverage fielder usually know how to get a clear throwing lane.
