Sure it needs one. Off-line start up cannot be done without some kind of clutch mechanisms. Be it manual disc clutch or torque-converter as in automatic transmissions. Since CVT is managed by in conjunction with computer controlled system torque-converter is basicly applied in cars. Some cars or similar manufacturing complex machines use disc clutch. But in cars it is life-long tested Torque-Converter, unless electric motor is the prime mover but since electric-motors are very flexible and doesn't require it in long-range band so logical one to couple is CVT with Torque-Converter.
