Yes. Even though the ham is precooked, tight foil wrapped around a ham keeps the juices in. Any ham not wrapped tightly in foil can become dry after cooking. The dryness increases with time.

Food packaging is probably a foil appearance plastic so I wouldn't chance it. Check the instructions.

Ham may not need to be covered with tin foil, but doing so will result in a more moist and tender ham, and help prevent the ham browning too much or burning.
