No. Put it on the back of the brake pads to prevent brake squeal.

For the pistons you can either:
1) Leave them clean and dry.
2) Use something like GP Products "Super Caliper Grease", which is designed 
for the job.
3) Use a very tiny amount brake fluid as a lube to ease the pistons back.

1) or 2) are my preferred options. Others might know better.

PS
Nathan,
Glad to hear that my rambling was of some use to someone.
