Yes, the original ones all required glue.
The one you include here  is a variation.
But if you plan to actually use it, glue is required.  Though tabs fit into pockets of each piece, there is no way to lock them.
When you open these boxes there is nothing that holds them into place. So glue is actually needed for the model to be of any use, and even just to open and view.

Hello everyone, 

As far as I know, the original version requires glue. 
There is a variant, cleverly designed by Francesco Decio, which requires no glue and relies solely on the standard flap-and-pocket mechanism. And it is very sturdy. 

Here you can see the version I’ve folded:

If you’d like to fold it too, I think Francesco Decio would be happy to provide you with the diagrams, just as he sent them to me (send me a private message so I can give you his email address).

Ciao,
Lorenzo

The style shown in the video is my very favorite!!

I have yet to find an original cloth version from rural China.

I have never seen this before, amazing!

Does the original Chinese Thread Book have the origami folds on top?

This would be the souped-up version of the Japanese tato
