No, you do not need samba for this.
You can use rdesktop to connect from the linux machine to the windows machine.
You can use vnc to connect from the linux machine to the windows machine.
You can use vnc to connect from the windows machine to the linux machine.
You can use ssh to connect from the windows machine to the linux machine.
The list is pretty long with regards to connecting between the machines without the need for samba.
