Is reference letter important?

I have almost finished my SA in an IB. I am wondering the reference letter is important/ useful or not. Would the employer assume u would hv one in every internship? If that is useful, how would u use it? I mean will u submit the reference with ur CV/ Cover letter whenever make an applocation?
