This means you can add the name of the administrative district, but you do
not have to, it still remains a valid and unambiguous address. IMHO you
shouldn't tag this district to every housenumber. "Vinohrady" is redundant
information in this case and not necessary for the location to be found. Or
are there maybe also other "130 00 Praha 3 - xy" where xy is not
"Vinohrady"? Also for Boleslavska?

You could also in other countries add superfluous administrative (or even
geographic) entities at various levels which are not needed for the address
but do not harm neither as long as they are correct, but we generally don't
add these to the address tags in OSM, e.g. I could add after Rome and Italy
also Europe to the address on a letter. Should I add addr:continent=Europe
to every housenumber? I think not.

cheers,
Martin
