50ohm resistor for all IC pins?

I'm building a powerline modem using Belfuse's powerline module:
http://belfuse.com/Data/DBObject/0804-5000-03-04.pdf

I've requested for reference design and they say no reference design
are available.

My question:
I have realized with the reference design of my ethernet transceiver
that most of the pins (unless specifically stated) have a 50ohm
resistor (i'm assuming its a terminating resistor?).

Since without a reference design, i'm guessing i just connect the pins
of the powerline module directly to the corresponding pins at my
ethernet transceiver. My question is, do i have to place any resistors
btwn these connections too? Is there like a conventional rule of thumb
etc when dealing with these kind of situations?
