Most of Jehovah's Witnesses have absolutely NO DESIREto get to heaven. Our parents never taught us about a need to get to heaven; and we didn't teach our children about needing to get to heaven.
When we go from house-to-house, we don't teach people about getting to heaven.
We teach others what The Bible says in Psalm 37:11. "The meek" will have a different inheritance. The meek "shall inherit THE EARTH" - - NOT heaven.
When we pray the Lord's Prayer -- we DON'T pray to go to heaven; we pray for God's Kingdom TO COME. Then we pray: "Thy will be done ON EARTH, as it is in heaven." Why would we need to go to heaven, if God's will is done on earth, as it is in heaven?
True, the Bible does teach about heaven also. Jesus went to heaven. Of course, Jesus had to be 'saved' to get there. Jesus was dead. So Jehovah saved him. Yes Jesus had to be saved. Likewise if God chooses anyone else to be with him in heaven, Jehovah would have to 'save' them. So they would 'have to be saved' as your question asks.
But Jehovah's Witnesses are not interested in getting to heaven; and we don't teach it to others; our children included.

Many would say they are. Quite a few witnesses say "They are glad they are" because before they became JWs their brain was full of dirty thoughts etc. and their brains needed washing! In reality, it takes a huge amount of study to become a witness and they enter and get baptized of their own free will. Many highly intelligent people are witnesses. So the objective answer is no they are not.

When you die do you have to wait for the world to die before you can enter heaven?
Good question. I believe that you go straight to heaven when you die. There are so many near-death experiences that children have had that they arrive in heaven and meet someone that they didn't even know had existed, therefore proving that everyone meets up in heaven. If you don't believe me, read the book 'Heaven is for Real' by Todd Burpo and Lynn Vincent, which was written about Colton Burpo and his trip to heaven and back.
