What is the Windows Hosting Bundle needed for?

No.
You can install both versions in parallel without restricting the functionality of the WebModel. There is therefore no reason why you should not initially run versions 8.0 AND 6.0. The Hosting Bundle 6.0 can be uninstalled later, as it will no longer be required by future viflow versions.
