No putting in the star would not be the same. Sometimes the braces are required like in this example. Braces will never hurt. I don't use braces unless I have a reason. See our faq section for book suggestions.

Thanks! that is why I am confused. And I tried adding "*", I got the same results.

The book I am reading suggested to use "*"

ex.
$ print $PWD
/usr/home/valley
$ print ${PWD#*/}
usr/home/valley

Thanks again!

usually
${x##*/}
is same as basename.

Just because you get the same results in one case does not mean that they are the same command. Try:
x=abc./xyz
echo ${x#./}
echo ${x#*./}
