Do I need to convert my USD to trade cross currencies?

Hi, in case my base currency is USD and I wish to trade GBP/JPY and GBP/JPY. Do I have to convert USD to GBP until I can put a trade?

I am 60% complete on the babypips school however I didn't recall coming across anything about the way our account currency will be converted when we exchange cross currencies.
Thanks for the replies.
