No. A rocket does not need to fire its engines to stay in orbit. It does, however need fuel and oxygen to perform any maneuvers, so a rocket that runs out of oxygen will be stranded in space.

Why does a shuttle of a rocket needs to have a tank containing oxygen?
While oxygen itself is not flammable, oxygen readily supports combustion. Adding oxygen to a flammable material will cause it to burn much faster and much hotter. You can see this demonstrated very easily by watching a welder at work. The welder uses acetyline as the flammable and by adding oxygen the acetyline becomes hot enough to weld or even cut metal. When the acetyline runs out the oxygen itself does not burn. Now back to the shuttle. By mixing liquid oxygen with the booster fuel they can get a much hotter and faster burn creating much more power from the amount of fuel they have on hand. Liquid oxygen is used because you can carry a much larger amount. One gallon of liquid oxygen expands to enough gas when as it vaporises to replace several cylinders.
