No, it doesn't. I tested it last night. On the other hand, su and login 
do require PAM.

$ ldd /sbin/sulogin
         linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fff29fff000)
         libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/libcrypt.so.1 (0x00007f039eb8b000)
         libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x00007f039e7de000)
         /lib/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f039edc2000)

I got it from util-linux-2.22.2

https://git.kernel.org/?p=utils/util-linux/util-linux.git;a=blob;f=login-utils/sulogin.c;h=d7d44b607e1c1ab6e21d32926dea36a31fa617e3;hb=refs/heads/stable/v2.22

As you can see, there isn't any single reference to PAM.
