Can there be air trapped in the fuel line going to carb after changing the water separator filter? or would it bleed itself. Do I need to crack open a fitting at the carb to release the air?

Depends.....if will start and run, your good to go.
If you changed the filter and will now not start (air locked), you'll need to crack a fitting to release the air trapped in the line to prime the fuel pump.
I always run the motor prior to changing the filter to assure the carb(s) are full of fuel. Then start the motor and let it self prime

Have never pre-filled a filter. Just screw it on and go. Carbs should have no problem purging air, the float bowl will be empty and all the air will be rushing through until it gets fuel.

Ayuh,..... With a carb,..?? No way, it's vented, air is purged,.....
I once serviced an efi motor, that seemed to need the filter prefilled,...
I usually prefill maybe 1/2 to lighten the load on the fuel pump, but it's not necessary,.....
