1. Actually, it, or an air gap connection, is REQUIRED.
2. Dishwashers typically do NOT have a valve on the drain so the water would just drain out of the dishwasher as it tried to fill.
3. Connecting the dishwasher directly to the drain can cause poluted water to back flow into the dishwasher when the drain line clogs.
4. The way yours is connected sounds like the correct way, although it might not need the "mess" fo pipes you describe.
