I will make it simple. The orb is a Dragon Ball, an artifact of power and wisdom exclusive to Asian Dragons. For the question whether do they need it to fly, no. All Japanese Dragons, like other Asian Dragons can fly without the Orb.

To make it clear: All Dragons can fly. Not all Dragons have an orb (or multiple orbs).

No Orb Dragon < Dragons with 1 Dragon Ball (Orb)

Dragon w/1 Orb < Dragon with 2 Orbs etc...

Difference is so great that 1 Orb is almost impossible for no orb to beat.
