Yes, you must install the Oracle Client. Even though you may have one or
more providers available, all of them would be dependant upon the actual
client being installed. The various providers are intermediary interfaces to
the underlying Oracle Client, and can expose varying degrees of the actual
Oracle Clients capabilities.

IIRC, the Oracle Client installer has a "minimum" option.
