A strut is actually part of the suspension and not the engine.

The strut is a shock absorber surrounded by a spring and provides the upper pivot point for the steering.

I suggest doing a Google search on "macpherson strut".

How do you change the Dog Bone motor mount on an 1989 Chev Celebrity. Do I need to support the engine while doing it?

Remove the two bolts that hold it in place, pull out the old strut and put in the new one, put the bolts back in place and tighten the nuts. The engine is not supported by the strut, the strut keeps the engine from rocking on its mounts. If the strut does seem to be supporting the engine then the motor mounts should be inspected first and any that are worn out should be replaced .
