Yes, definitely need to drive it first. A warm engine does not engage the transmission...only driving it.
Much of the transmission fluid fills the torque converter when in use, and the dipstick markings are calibrated to be measured under those conditions. After cool-down, that fluid drains back into the pan, causing the level to be above the dipstick markings. You can actually check it when cold, but just realize the level will be above the markings on the dipstick, so don't be alarmed.

book method: drive 15 minutes on freeway- NOT in town which is different temp
get off freeway and park in safe flat area-
turn engine OFF (unlike other cars)
wipe trans dipstick- one closer to driver side -insert FULLY into hole and pull back out
dont let fluid drip onto paint!!!!
read the level- anywhere BETWEEN the 2 marks is ok
