It's not required, and in fact there's a big open source project taking advantage of that: OpenResty uses a module that loads LuaJIT into Nginx, and builds very fast applications into Nginx using Lua.
Looks like one can also write nginx modules, but I’m not familiar with nginx licensing to know if a purchase is required to use that in a commercial deployment.
