No you do not need root and it was pulled.
The maxx is getting kitkat soon.
When you say it was pulled what you are saying is that the update was slated for release but the release was scrubbed due to apparent problems it was creating with peoples' phones. This is true in that the OTA release was bricking some phones during the SOAK testing however this doesn't seem to be happening when side-loading as illustrated in that thread.
In answer to the question, yes it is the official release but you are on your own if you flash it to the phone as it may cause undesired results. For me and everyone I am aware of who used this update it has been successful. Proceed at your own risk.
