No, you do not need to own Microsoft Excel to use the Excel Viewer, you just need files with the .xls or similar supported file extension.

As you will be able to view the information on screen you can transfer it manually to a spreadsheet in another programme,compare more than one spreadsheet at a time or just view a document quickly without having to open the whole Excel programme.
