Fitbit connection to MFP

No, it should sync automatically throughout the day, or when you open the Fitbit app on your phone.

If you're syncing the Fitbit to a computer, then it should update shortly after it syncs to the computer. I usually see it within a few minutes.

In the MFP app on my phone, I see my step progress on the home page. On a computer, you'll need to go to My Home>Exercise, and you should see Fitbit Calorie Adjustment with a small letter i next to it. Click on the i to see when the last sync was. You will not see steps taken on MFP on the computer.

There were some significant syncing issues shortly after the holiday, and a handful of folks are still seeing a delay with things updating - mine wasn't showing step info till mid-afternoon yesterday, even though food was going over to Fitbit. My guess is there's still a bit of a backlog being worked through.

There's a Fitbit Users group here on MFP: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/1290-fitbit-users if you'd like to join it. The FAQ there is really helpful.

Most of us do hang out on the main boards, too, so posting here is fine.

Hopefully my answer helped you Read through that FAQ a few times - there's lots of good info in it that may be useful for you in the future.
