Yes, you need two. SKXBee Pro is more expensive. Maybe you can consider SKXBee if the communication range is not critical.

If you really need to use XBee, then you will definately need 2 XBee to communicate. if you need wireless communication only, low cost RF module can do the work, but as it is low cost, the performance is not up to XBee and of course you need extra work to make RF module work.
