There’s no emulator for Windows 8, so in order to develop metro apps I must install the release candidate on a device and run Visual Studio there, right? That’s what this page seems to suggest, but I just wanted to double check.

Yes, Windows8 is required.
However, VM can be used. For example, I’m running Win8RP/64 and VS2012RC in Oracle VirtualBox on Win7/64.
NOTE: For developing Metro Style App, you should NOT install VirtualBox Extension Pack.
