You don't need to use migrations with your database. Even, you don't have to use models to use CRUD - you can use Query Builder. But, if you want to get all the power of CRUD - models are recommended. Models are "auto-connected" to DB by their names. If you have model Product it will be "connected" to products table.

If your database structure have different names you can define your table directly in model class:

Example of model Product in Product.php:

class Product extends Model {
    protected $table = 'my_custom_products_table';
}
