No, for faster cooking I would recommend skipping the thick stem.

If you are looking for a quick Tamilnadu-style cauliflower roast, chop them into smaller pieces. Big florets take a longer time to cook.
Can I skip soaking?
I have never noticed worms in cauliflower I get here in the US but for faster cooking and to retain the cauliflower crunchy texture I would recommend soaking in hot water.
drain the water before soaking
yes, cauliflower shouldn't drip water, that might make cauliflower curry mushy and soggy. It should just have moisture for faster cooking.
