If you do not have MySql server installed somewhere on your network, then yes, you will need to install at least one instance. If you already have an instance, then you should be able to connect to any database that instance knows about.

Try leaving it alone. If you haven't been given a specific port number, then it should be using the default, and it should just connect ok.
