Nope.
E is indeed an X client, not an xserver, so it can run an any machine in
the entire world running an X server no matter what OS that machine is
running or where it is, as long as it has some kind of (e.g. TCP/IP)
connection to the machine with the server.
So you do not need E on your local machine. You could, for example,
telnet to my machine and run my E on your desktop. Although it would be
slow.
