These quotes are in fact needed, even though the result is exactly the same. In the current version, you're passing two arguments to the echo command : Hello and World. In the previous version, the only argument of the command was Hello World, which is what was really meant by the programmer.
In this particular example, this makes no difference whatsoever, but the underlying topic of quoting in Bash (also see here for more advanced examples) is much more complex.
