No, rooting isn't necessary. CC uses the Android Storage Access Facility. When you "connect" to a "local library" using the cloud connection it opens an Android file browser. You then navigate to the folder containing the calibre metadata.db. See the attached screen captures.

Note: CC can use only storage that the Android file browser can see, which is typlcally internal memory and a "real" SD card. OTG-mounted drives aren't visible.
