    Yes
    You can't compile to native code without NDK and unity only runs on native code

    Is this correct? I may be missing something but I've successfully compiled and worked with Java+Android SDK without having to use NDK...

    Is what correct?

    You can write Android apps without NDK, but as Dreamora said, Unity for Android requires NDK because of the need for fast native code (ARM assembly).
