No, you just need the access ODBC driver (which comes with the standad MDAC
package) You'll need a copy of access to create the database, you don't to
access the file over ODBC (or OleDB).
Not sure about the licencing implications, but I'm guessing you aren't too
concerned about that either.

Other option you can try is to download SQL Server Express. It's limited in
size of DBs it can handle, but is fine for testing.
If you download the management studio pack as well, you get a nice GUI
frontend for it. Otherwise you'll have to access it through command line
