No, you don't have to:

In short, you can comfortably develop QML only or Python & QML applications directly on the device. And you can use the Mer OBS with the Sailfish OS target to build stuff that needs to be compiled (it is quite easy to reuse packaging from other RPM based distros such as Fedora).

Not sure about installing compilers & co. directly on the device but I don't think anything technical should be preventing that as long as the needed packages are available.
