YES, you do need a trap. Usually the bathtub drain is on the same sewer line as the nearby toilet.

The smell from the toilet's discharge will sneak up through the bathtub's drain line without a trap ... not pleasant!.

The bathtub trap for a tub located directly on a slab foundation is in the soil under the concrete slab.
