The database does not have to be in archivelog mode to use RMAN.
However, without archivelog mode, the only backup available is a cold one - database shut down. RMAN with noarchivelog mode needs the database to be in mount mode so RMAN can get to the control file.

RMAN can be used to backup a database in noarchivelog mode. See article copied from Metalink:

Hello,
1) Online backups can only be performed in archivelog mode.
2) RMAN can be used in noarchivelog mode, however, the database must be shutdown cleanly for consistency.
3) You can perform incremental backups in NOARCHIVELOG mode, but once again the database must be shutdown for consistency.
If your database is in noarchivelog mode then you can only perform cold/offline backups, regardless of the backup method.
