Out of the box yes you need SBS running on the NAS if you want to store the files on the NAS. The Touch runs linux and has the software to mount a NAS, but Logitech is worried about the speed issue. If you have a very large collection on that NAS and have the Touch connected to the network via WiFi a full scan of that collection could take an EXTREMELY long time. The scan has to read all the music files to find the tags etc. Doing this over wireless can be a very slow process. In addition they would have to write a UI to browse and select a server, handle passwords etc. That would push out the release even further. So out of the box SBS has to run on the NAS box. If you really want to mount the NAS on the Touch you can, but you need some linux skills and be prepared for some slow operations, especially on WiFi.
