Yes. SSH needs to be minimally configured just as you do when using the 'rsync' method (over ssh) for any other system.
And SSH is pretty basic for any type of communication, login, file transfer between machines in the 20th century (with the exception maybe of pure Windows environments) Technically, SSH may not be a dependency for rsync in that you can use 'rsyncd' without SSH but the vast majority of rsync usage between local and remote machines (with or without backuppc) is over ssh.
