No.
In IOS, you were never required to have Air installed and the packager bundles the binaries with your app. See Adobe’s document on Building ADOBE AIR Applications where it says:
Until recently, a separate Air runtime was required to be installed on Android devices. As of Air 3.0, that requirement is now optional.
Air 3.0 includes a feature called “Captive Runtime” which allows you to package the required Air binaries with your app in Android as well (as well as desktop deployments). If you choose this packaging option, you do not need to require that Air be installed separately. It is still an option but it is no longer required.
“Captive Runtime” is available now through the command line and will be available soon through Flash Builder 4.6.
