Technically hydrogen and helium do not need oxygen to burn, they burn by themselves, otherwise the object that needs burning must have oxygen as a supplimental fuel source.

Does oxygen make something burn?

No it doesn't make something burn. But if something is already burning, it supports the burning. In the fire triangle, which is what makes a fire, it says that you need fuel, oxygen, and something else, that I tend to forget. So, technically, oxygen does make something burn, because you need that oxygen to help it and if you don't have that then it won't burn. So, I say yes, it does.
