Yes, to fulfill the First Friday, you need to pray, make a good confession, and receive Holy Communion. There is no "Mass obligation" per se; from the First Friday site:
Among the twelve promises of Our Lord in favor of the devotees of His Heart is: "I promise in the excess of the mercy of My Heart, that its all-powerful love will grant to all those who receive communion on the first Friday of every month for nine consecutive months the grace of final repentance, and that they shall not die under My displeasure, nor without the sacraments, and that My Heart shall be their secure refuge at that last hour."
