It's a good idea to turn off everything. It doesn't really matter the order, although I'd turn the tank off, then the regulator, the outside valve, purge the line, then the inside valve.
You can certainly just shut off the inside valve, however, that would keep pressure on the regulator, and if you are not going to be torching for a few days, it does save wear and tear on the regulator to just shut it off.
It's a good habit to get into (turning everything off in a certain order), because if you get rushed, you will remember the habit.
