The quorum device cannot run resources, therefore it does not need fencing. The point of fencing of a node is to be sure that all resources are stopped when they can't be stopped normally.
Also, the quorum device is not a single point of failure, since one of the nodes would have to fail as well to lose quorum. There's nothing wrong with using a separate cluster for the quorum device to improve resilience against multiple simultaneous failures, but it's not necessary.
