Yes, it's necessary to tell the assistant coach that he's seatbelted. It's the same as telling the head coach. It's part of the penalty and it's the proper mechanic.

You tell them when they're seatbelted so that you (hopefuly) won't have to nail them if they get up and wander. If they do want to get up and wander after being told, then they have no excuse when they get nailed for doing so.
