Yes. LOB compression requires advanced compression license.

       About Advanced LOB Compression

Advanced LOB Compression transparently analyzes and compresses SecureFiles LOB data to save disk space and improve performance.

License Requirement: You must have a license for the Oracle Advanced Compression Option to implement Advanced LOB Compression.

Advanced compression option, on the other hand, requires a hefty check payable to the Oracle Corp, headquartered in Austin, TX.

Do we need the compression option for that?

    Jeff,
    If you're using the ordssys to just compress the image files in
    the db, then just store them as securefiles (compressed) it it
    will be ok. If you're using other features (image conversion,
    .....) then you'll need the apexmediaextension.
