Yes , it requires Orbot. Also have a look at iOS shortcuts, I use it to automate TOR / VPN connections when opening and closing apps

Will figure out some more of these iOS shortcuts 🤙
Sorry forgot to say but since a while the Onion Browser has built in support for Tor, this means you don’t need Orbot . I had to set the security level to bronze for the Start OS interface to work. Be aware that using the built-in tor might leak your real IP over webRTC , using it with Orbot is safer but less stable.
Thanks 💜
