Yep... go grab the latest SuperSU flashable zip and flash it in recovery right after loading your custom ROM (no need to reboot in between). But you can flash the supersu zip at any point.

Some ROMs are already rooted... but others are not (not sure why they do that, but I guess reasons).

Another thing to keep in mind is that a lot of custom roms don't include the Google Apps (like Play Services, etc). These are often loaded as a add-on zip, often called a 'gapps package'.

I would suggest the banks dynamic gapps package (euroskank)

The order I've always done was 1) ROM, 2) Gapps 3) root zip... if not already included.
