Do I need to grease silicone cupcake molds?

Generally, no. High quality silicone molds are naturally non stick and cupcakes should release easily without any greasing. However, for recipes with high sugar content or sticky batters (like caramel or fruit filled), a light spray of cooking oil can help prevent sticking. When in doubt, a quick spray takes seconds and provides extra insurance.
