Although applications on the SD card are not mentioned separately, I am supposing that all means all. Including the SD card in the reset option means music/photos and other data files are also erased which would otherwise remain intact.

Please let me know if I have understood correctly.
If you only erase your phone, nothing on the sd card will be lost, if you erase the sd card aswell everything will be lost (apps, music, photos,...).

In my opinion you dont need to reset, you uninstalled the app so you should be fine.
