Err, no, you don't need it for Orca.

brltty-x11 contains brltty drivers for x11: the fake X11 braille device,
the screen reading driver for gnome (you'll need to run a second brltty
for that), and xbrlapi to properly synthesize key presses in the X11
session (else brltty reverts to a qwerty layout).
