I'm sure I intentionally used "setglobal bomb". When I experiment with "gvim -N -u NONE -i NONE" and then ":set encoding=utf-8" and ":setglobal bomb", any new buffer I create *after* this via ":new" will automatically get 'bomb' set. If I omit the ":setglobal bomb" then new buffers do NOT get 'bomb' set by default.

Note that the initial buffer created on Vim startup will not have 'bomb' set from the setglobal command. If you need that first buffer to also have 'bomb' set then yes, you will need a setlocal or set command as well.
