Wine requires a legal copy of Windows.
Is it so? You perhaps meant it is required for Wine developers. Read this: http://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ and http://www.winehq.org/site/myths - read #4 specifically
If you use even a single dll or other file from Windows, you need to use a legal copy. If wine runs independently of any dose files then no problem. What I recollect was that it needed a few dll files or would work on an installed windows partition. Maybe wine has come a long way.
It has,it doesn't NEED native dlls but native dll CAN be used(for which as you mentioned,a legal copy of Doze is required)which MIGHT(usually does) improve performance.
