Does the water pump have to be replaced when installing an engine?

No.
But if the pump is driven by the timing belt, it is good practice to replace the pump at the time of installing the engine.
A pump failure will cause the timing belt to jump.
In the majority of cases this will cause valve to piston contact.
Plus, if the part is hard to change, maybe you should do it now rather than later, when it will be much harder to get to.
