Does this need any other ROS packages?

Yes; it needs ros_ovr_sdk.

Does this work with the DK2?

Does this still work with the DK1?

Unfortunately not. Due to an unknown setup issue, it does not seem to render properly.

Does this render position changes instead of just orientation changes?

Not yet. There is a place in the code where that might be added in later.

Not yet. There is a place in the code where that might be added in later.

Do I need to follow additional installation instructions prior to the build instructions?

It doesn't appear so. If you have any doubts, consider running ConfigureDebian.sh

Can I install this to my system with catkin_make instead of just building it in the workspace?
