Do you need 3d Exchange Pipeline for Unreal Live Link to work?

No , only when you want to bring Unreal Characters or Animations into IClone , or other 3rd person Characters/Animations like Mixamo or whatever.
As long as you are only working with CC3 Characters (or Daz transformed to CC3) , you don't need 3dxchange. 

Hm, when I got it right you do need 3DXChange Pipeline to get a free licence...
