With a 2 piece emt connector, Is a egc needed to be run with the conductors, because of the lack of locknut and setscrew?

No.
Assuring how the connector functions is part of the listing process, if an EGC was required it would be in the installation instructions

The inside part of the 2-piece is tapered and has sharp ridges that dig into the box or panel. So this performs the same function as the sharp points on the periphery of a locknut or the end of a set screw. Apparently this was effective enough to meet the requirements of the listing process Tom mentioned.
