No - DataSet is totally disconnected and can work without any back-end
server connection. You can persist DataSet in XML files (and load it
afterwards in) without even touching the database.

Let me ask one more time!
If you have an application that uses a DataSet (System.Data) but the
dataset is only loaded with XML data.
Do you need to deploy MDAC with your application?
