Either way is fine.  If *all* of the space on the drive is being used
for LVM, you can just pvcreate /dev/sdb.  You would need to create
partitions if you had LVM and non-LVM partitions on the same disk
(example: / and /boot are /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2, and /dev/sda3 is an
LVM physical volume for the remaining partitions).

Creating a partition as you did won't hurt, it's just an extra,
unnecessary step if you are not going to put any more partitions on that
device.
