No, if I understand your question correctly.  Dalvik is a virtual machine
that runs translated Java code (similar to how a JVM would).
Full source is included in AOSP.

If you, rather, mean to ask whether a JVM license would be needed to
run non-Android Java applications (e.g. legacy mobile Java apps), then yes.
But this would be weird since Android provides pretty much everything
you need.
