I do not think he had to. Since Jesus told Mary to not touch Him due to Him having not yet ascended, and He told Thomas to touch Him, he must have Ascended. The bible never told us here that He was ascending to make atonement, either, but He was.
Leviticus 16:17 KJV And there shall be no man in the tabernacle of the congregation when he goeth in to make an atonement in the holy place, until he come out, and have made an atonement for himself, and for his household, and for all the congregation of Israel.
It does not say that He was acting as High Priest at this point, either, but we know He was due to words said elsewhere.
My thoughts, anyway.
