Any machine exporting a tyCache needs a PRO license, yes. Whether it's a node-locked license on the machine, or a floating seat it picks up during Deadline export.
In the case of floating licenses, with the latest version of tyFlow you can configure render farm machines to forgo licenses during normal rendering so that they don't hog license seats (and defer to tyFlow_RENDER for full multithreading), while also picking up seats when a tyCache export job is detected.
