Why would they need a filter? The laser light isn't making it directly to the eyeballs of the wearer.

The worst you'll get is 100% illumination on all pixels on the LCD inside the headset.

The question is clearly about protecting the camera from the laser.
Well white laser cannot be blocked with normal Kameras.
camera sensors are pretty easy to damage. a lot of people destroy their cameras by filming solar eclipses without taking any precaution
Yes, definitely. You will want to protect your camera sensor from a direct hit by a laser (or even an indirect one). Diffused is probably ok.
