Yes. It's the only way you can get it. I believe you need to have Xbox Live to buy it, because you can not get Minecraft as a retail version, so yes I believe you do need Xbox Live to get Minecraft.

The only way you can be in multiplayer you have to get xbox live account then you have to get xbox gold for it (-you have to buy it) after you get xbox live you can add your friends but they have to have xbox live and xbox gold to play with you.
Yes, you need an Xbox Live account to purchase skins in Minecraft on consoles like Xbox. However, you can buy skins on the Minecraft Marketplace without an Xbox Live Gold subscription, as that is primarily needed for online multiplayer gameplay. On other platforms, such as PC or mobile, an Xbox Live account is not required to purchase skins.
