It is not possible to second guess your dentist since they actually examined you. If they don't feel there is decay then no filling is needed. At your semi-annual checkup have those lesions re-evaluated.

Today with AI, it may be wise to fill one or more of these cavities. Depending on your diet or oral hygiene habits, they may or may not need to be filled now. This is up to you and your dentist after consultation.
