RAC is application cluster so in theory yes, you would need to license each node. However, since you can have vip address, you can also do trick and use vip for backup and mark all nodes to be virtual and for physical node call it something like foo. This way you use single client (virtual) connection for both file system and NMDA regardless of RAC nodes.

As the client software is mandatory for any module to be installed, I am pretty sure that you need a client license as well.
